How local QR code generation works

A plain-language look at turning text into a code with no server.

It is math, not magic

A QR code is a grid of squares that encodes your text using error-correction maths. A barcode encodes a number in the widths of its bars. Both can be calculated by code running in your browser.

What happens when you type

As you type, QRDock encodes the value and paints it onto a canvas in the page. No request is sent, the preview is computed on your device.

Proving it to yourself

Open your browser’s Network tab and generate a code; you will see no outbound traffic. Or disconnect from the internet after loading and keep generating.
