Utilities

Everyday utilities that run in your browser

The odds and ends that do not fit a category of their own. There is one here today - a QR code generator - and it works the same way as everything else on the site: entirely on your own device, with no account and nothing uploaded.

Most tools on VSThiran sit in an obvious group: a calculator belongs with the calculators, a PDF splitter with the PDF tools. A few do not. Rather than force one into a category where nobody would look for it, they live here.

That makes this the smallest section on the site, and it is meant to stay honest about that rather than be filled out with near-duplicates to look busier.

What is here

  • The free QR code generator, which makes codes for links, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi networks and contact cards, and downloads them as PNG or SVG.

Why a QR code generator does not need a server

A QR code is a deterministic encoding of whatever text you give it. Nothing needs to be looked up, stored or shortened, so the whole thing can be worked out in the page - which is what happens here.

That matters more than it sounds for the Wi-Fi and contact-card modes, because those encode a network password and a person's phone number. Neither is transmitted anywhere: the code is drawn in your browser and the download comes from the same tab.

Codes that keep working

The codes produced here contain your data directly rather than pointing at a redirect on our domain. A code generated on a service that shortens the link stops working the day that service does; one that encodes the address itself keeps working for as long as the address does.

There is no tracking, no scan counter and no expiry, which also means there is nothing to sign up for.

Frequently asked questions

Is the QR code generator free?

Yes - free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many codes you make.

Do the codes expire or stop working?

No. The code contains your data directly rather than a redirect through this site, so there is nothing that can expire and nothing of ours that has to stay online for it to keep working.

Is my Wi-Fi password or contact information sent anywhere?

No. The code is generated in your browser, and the download comes from the same page. Nothing you type is transmitted to VSThiran or anyone else.

Why is there only one tool in this section?

Because only one tool genuinely belongs here. Utilities is for things that do not fit the other groups, and padding it out with tools that would be easier to find elsewhere would make the site worse, not better.
