I needed a QR Code generator for a document. After long wandering on the web without finding a QR Code generator that doesn’t use a proprietary URL shortener, I discovered that you can easily do it inside LibreOffice.

In case you want an alternative:
https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/#recipe=Generate_QR_Code('PNG'%2C5%2C4%2C'Medium')&input=VGVzdA
The qchq in the url isn’t a coincidence, this was created by the British spy agency. It is used fairly commonly amongst cyber security folk, so its been fairly well vetted that its not uploading stuff to their cloud, but you can always load the page, disconnect your network and do what you want with it if you want to be paranoid.
or just type “qr code …” into duck duck go and it will generate one that contains the text …
don’t paste anything private on there though (like “anyone with the link” share/invites)
the search gets sent to the server, and you immediately can’t be sure of its privacy once it’s out of your control
Good point yeah. Use for rickrolls not for cryptpad links.
The pair of Zint and Zbar does everything Qr codes (and endless other codes)
https://zint.org.uk/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar/
Added the urls, because it was a little non trivial to find them. Zbar was showing steel rebar as the first hits…
