This started as a small internal itch. I needed a QR code for some merch we were printing. A simple thing. Paste a link, get a QR code, print it, move on with my day.
It wasn't simple.
Every QR site I opened wanted something from me first. Sign in. Accept cookies. Close this popup. Look at this ad. And after all of that, the QR code it finally gave me looked nothing like our design. Wrong colors, ugly corners, sometimes a watermark sitting right on it. So I would download it anyway, open it in an editor, and fix it by hand, every time.
Adobe has a nice one. But it also wants a sign in, and the good parts are paid. I didn't want an account. I wanted a QR code.
The bigger problem is tracking
Most free QR generators don't put your link inside the QR code. They put their link. Someone scans your poster, it first goes to their server, and then it redirects to your page. A random company sits between you and every person who scans your QR, counting the scans, watching where they come from. And if that company folds or decides free was a mistake, every QR you ever printed dies.
So we built our own 
I work at Ente, where we make beautiful privacy apps for everyday use. So building this one was an obvious thing to do.
ente qr is the simple thing I wanted that day. You paste your link. The QR code appears. You download it. Done. Everything happens in your browser. Your link goes straight into the code. No account, no cookie banner, no ads, no backlinks, nothing stored anywhere.
And because I care about how things look, the QR codes had to be beautiful. Rounded modules, colors that are yours, your logo in the middle, frames with your own words on them. If you care about the thing you are making, the QR code on it should not be the ugly part.
Print it on your merch. Stick it on your store counter. Put it on a poster, a menu, a business card, a wedding invite. Or hit share and it becomes a little story card you can post anywhere. It's yours, forever.
The love part
I spent far too long on the small potato stuff. The card on the homepage turns to face your cursor, and a sticker stays wherever you drop it. It's over-animated and I like it that way.
Go make one @ qr.ente.com
It's free. Make one for whatever you're working on. I hope it saves you the twenty minutes it used to cost me.
