QR Code
Your agent can't draw a QR code; this returns one as a PNG for any text or URL.
Sharing
Generates QR codes from URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact cards, phone numbers, locations, and more. Returns a PNG image of the code, ready to embed or download.
Use when
You need a QR code someone can scan with a phone to open a link, join WiFi, save a contact, or read text.
Not for
Reading or decoding an existing code, generating barcodes, tracking scans, or branded color and logo styling.
What you can do
- •Encode a web link, plain text, phone number, SMS, email, location, or calendar event as a QR code.
- •Encode WiFi network details so scanning the code joins the network.
- •Encode contact details so scanning the code saves a new contact.
- •Choose a damage tolerance suited to print, screen, or a code that will carry a logo.
What you get back
information
Returns the QR code as a PNG image, inline. Encodes exactly the content given and does not track scans.
