✨ WHY QR FORGE?
Most QR extensions give you a plain black-and-white code with no options. QR Forge gives you full creative control — colors, themes, size, error correction, and multiple export formats — all in a clean, fast interface that opens instantly from your toolbar.

🎨 FULL CUSTOMIZATION

Pick any foreground and background color using the color picker or by typing a hex code directly
Choose from 8 built-in color themes: Classic, Dark, Ocean, Forest, Violet, Sunset, Rose, and Teal
Adjust QR code size from 120px up to 480px with a simple slider
Control the quiet zone margin (0–10 modules) for tighter or looser framing


📤 FLEXIBLE EXPORT

Download as high-resolution PNG (up to 480×480px) — perfect for web, social media, and presentations
Download as SVG — infinitely scalable, perfect for print, business cards, and signage
Copy the QR code image directly to your clipboard with one click
Set a custom filename and optionally add a timestamp so files stay organized


⚡ SMART & FAST

Opens pre-loaded with your current tab's URL — no typing needed
5 content presets to instantly scaffold URL, Email, Phone, Wi-Fi network, and vCard formats
Light and dark theme with your preference saved automatically
Instant live preview updates as you type or change any setting


🔧 ADVANCED OPTIONS
