A QR code generator tool

SimpleCodeGenerator is a free utility that was created by NirSoft for PC devices. It is a simple tool for generating QR codes that can be used for scanning with other apps or mobile devices. Using this program, users can make a QR code that can be scanned directly on the screen. They have the option to copy it to their clipboard and use it with other programs, or save it as an image.

How do I use SimpleCodeGenerator?

Using SimpleCodeGenerator is a simple and straightforward affair. This utility is a portable program and does not require installation or any other third-party applications in order to work. Simply launch the executable file after downloading to start using it and generating QR codes. Copy your desired URL in the text box and click on the Generate QR Code button. A QR image will then appear on the screen, which you can scan directly with your smartphone.

Alternatively, you can also copy it to your clipboard and paste it on another program, or save it as an image, with JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF as format options. You can generate QR codes using your command line if you prefer that method. Aside from URLs, you can also generate images for various types of actionable text, such as adding new contact information, providing map coordinates, and many others using their corresponding QR code string.

As mentioned earlier, SimpleCodeGenerator is a portable program. Thus, you can copy it on any external USB flash drive and take it with you and use it as needed. The only glaring thing worth mentioning with this utility is its spartan and quite frankly, outdated UI design. It is very reminiscent of the old operating systems that ran desktop computers back in the 90s, which, by today's standards, just looks plain bad and unappealing to use.

A lightweight and capable tool

In conclusion, SimpleCodeGenerator is a no-frills utility that you can use to generate QR codes for various purposes. It's easy to use and offers plenty of functionality for such a small and lightweight portable program. Its outdated UI design needs an overhaul stat. Aside from that though, you'd be hardpressed to find anything inherently wrong with it. Recommended and worth checking out.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
