QR Code Generator and Reader
How to Generate and Read QR Codes Locally on your Mac
QR codes can contain URLs, Wi-Fi credentials, contact cards, one-time setup links or internal test data. CodeSwissKnife creates QR codes and reads QR content locally from images.
Why handle QR codes locally?
A QR code can hide sensitive destination URLs or credentials. Local generation and decoding avoids sending that image or payload to a website.
Generate QR codes natively
Create PNG QR codes with native Core Image generation, correction level choices and integer module scaling for crisp output.
Read QR content from images
Use Vision decoding to scan images locally, with multiple-result selection when an image contains more than one QR code.
