NoTraQR claims to generate QR codes entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server. This is a verifiable claim. You can confirm it yourself in under two minutes using your browser's built-in developer tools — no technical expertise required.
In Chrome, Edge or Firefox, press F12 (or right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect). This opens the browser's developer tools panel.
Click the Network tab at the top of the developer tools panel. This tab records every network request made by the page — every file loaded, every API call, every piece of data transmitted.
Click the clear button (usually a circle with a line through it, or a trash icon) to clear any existing requests from the log. This gives you a clean starting point.
Type a URL into the NoTraQR input field and click Generate. Watch the Network tab as you do this.
After generating, look at the Network tab. You will see no new requests containing your URL or any other input data. The QR code was computed entirely locally. The network tab remains quiet because nothing was transmitted.
The only outgoing requests you will see are to Google's AdSense servers for the advertisement, and to notraqr.com for the anonymous generation counter — neither of which contains your input data.
When you generate a QR code, NoTraQR sends a single anonymous +1 increment to its own counter server. This request contains no content, no cookies and no persistent identifier. A temporary hashed IP address is used solely to prevent automated abuse and is discarded within 60 seconds. The counter simply tells us how many codes are being generated in total — nothing more.
Many QR generators ask you to trust their privacy policy without any way to verify compliance. NoTraQR's architecture makes the privacy guarantee technically enforceable: the code generation happens in JavaScript inside your browser, and the browser's own network layer shows you exactly what is and is not transmitted. No trust required — you can see it for yourself.
