Description
A QR code generator that lives in wp-admin under QR Codes.
- Encodes a URL, plain text, an email address, a phone number, an SMS, or Wi-Fi credentials.
- Full styling: dot and corner shapes, colours, gradients, background colour and rounding, quiet zone, size, error-correction level, and a centre logo picked from the Media Library.
- Downloads as PNG or SVG, or saves to the Media Library — with the style config stored on the attachment, so any saved code can be loaded straight back into the form and tweaked.
- Style presets. Three neutral presets ship with the plugin; anything else you build can be saved as a named preset and reused on later codes. Presets store the style fields (including the centre logo), not the content.
Rendering happens entirely in the browser — no PHP QR library, no third-party API, nothing about your codes leaves the site.
Capabilities
- Building, downloading and saving codes needs
upload_files(Author and up), the same capability WordPress uses for any other upload. -
Creating and deleting presets needs
edit_theme_options(Administrator), because presets are shared site-wide. Change that with thersc_qr_preset_capabilityfilter:add_filter(‘rsc_qr_preset_capability’, fn () => ‘upload_files’);
Bundled library
QR rendering is done in the browser by qr-code-styling 1.9.2 by Denys Kozak, MIT licensed, bundled at
assets/vendor/qr-code-styling.jsas the project’s own prebuilt UMD file. -
Source and build instructions: https://github.com/kozakdenys/qr-code-styling
- The exact release bundled here: https://github.com/kozakdenys/qr-code-styling/releases/tag/v1.9.2
- Its licence is included at
assets/vendor/qr-code-styling-LICENSE.txt.
No other build step is involved: the plugin’s own CSS and JavaScript are uncompiled and readable as shipped.
External services
This plugin does not connect to any external service. QR codes are generated in your browser, and saved codes are written to your own Media Library. The panel links out to rscmedia.co.uk and optiq-seo.com, but nothing is sent to either.

FAQ
Does this allow SVG uploads on my site?
No. SVG uploads stay disabled site-wide. The mime type is allowed only for the single write of a code this plugin generated, and only after the markup has been checked for scripts, event handlers and other active content.
What happens to my codes if I uninstall?
Saved codes stay in the Media Library; only the saved presets are removed.
