QR Code Generator Widget

Looking to use this tool right now? See the QR Code Generator online tool. The page below covers settings and advanced usage for the widget inside Start Page HQ.

The QR Code Generator widget turns any text or URL into a scannable QR code right on your dashboard. Type or paste your content, and the QR code updates in real time.

#How to Use

Enter text or a URL in the input area. The QR code generates instantly as you type. Below the input, a character counter shows how many characters you've entered.

If the input is empty, the widget shows a placeholder message instead of a QR code.

#Toolbar Actions

• Download - save the QR code as a PNG image file
• Copy - copy the input text to your clipboard
• Clear - erase the input and start fresh

All three actions are disabled when the input is empty.

#Tips

• The QR code uses the highest error correction level, so it stays scannable even if the image is slightly damaged or partially covered.
• The QR code adapts to your theme - it uses a dark code on a light background in light mode, and a light code on a dark background in dark and dim modes.
• Great for quickly sharing URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, or contact info from your desktop to your phone.
