I just added a "learn" directory to qrcodechicken.com. In this directory you can read articles that explain how QR codes work, the difference between static and dynamic QR codes, and much more. Follow for more updates.
I noticed that navigating between pages could sometimes take a moment, and there wasn t any visual feedback during the loading process. To improve the experience, I added a loading indicator at the top of the site so users know the page is loading instead of thinking the site has frozen.
I just added the PDF download format to qrcodechicken.com, and I also restructured the download button section to be more organized. Now instead of three buttons that look awful, you have one unified button, and you can choose which format to download on top. The default is PNG, which is blue; next is SVG, which is purple; and PDF is red. Additionally, I am changing the method for fast downloading by introducing a new shortcut. The original shortcut is "Ctrl + Enter" if there is a textarea, but I realize that on some keyboards there is a long gap between the "Ctrl" and "Enter" buttons, so I changed it to "Shift + Enter" because they are right next to each other. Thank you for reading, and please follow for more updates!
Now, instead of using a generic download name like qr.png or qr.svg, the file will be saved with a name that corresponds to the type of QR code being downloaded; for example, if you download a WiFi QR code, it will be saved as wifi-qr-code.png or wifi-qr-code.svg, depending on your chosen format. Thank you for reading, and please follow for more updates!
with this qr code you can create a simple contact QR code with only a name and phone number. When scanned, users can save the contact directly into their phonebook.
This project started as a small side project and slowly evolved into a full redesign of my older QR tool. I focused heavily on mobile experience, SEO pages for each QR type, and making the interface feel simple instead of overwhelming.
