QR Code Generator

This really really simple Windows Desktop App takes the link you enter and creates a QR Code in your clipboard that you can then use elsewhere.

Download it here!

The App itself is literally just a few lines – feel free to recreate it yourself if you would prefer that!

This App uses the QRCoder Open Source library to generate a QRCode and then paste it into your clipboard.
