Most "free" converters make you upload your file to their server first. That means a copy of whatever
you're converting, whether it's a photo, a PDF, someone's ID, or a document with real information in it, leaves your
device and lands on a computer you have no control over. Maybe they delete it right away like they claim.
Maybe they don't. Maybe it sits in a log somewhere, or gets swept up if that server's ever breached. You're
just trusting a stranger. Lotus Convert never asks you to make that bet. Every tool here
runs using capabilities your browser already has built in, the same rendering and decoding engine it uses
to display web pages and play videos, so your file gets converted directly on your own device. It never
leaves. You could turn your Wi-Fi off after the page loads and every tool here would still work fine.
Here's what's actually happening under the hood: image conversion uses your browser's own Canvas tool to read
the picture and spit it back out in a new format. Merging and compressing PDFs runs on a PDF library that
loads into your browser and works locally. Turning PDF pages into images uses your browser's built-in PDF
renderer. Background removal grabs a small AI model once (so after that it can run offline) and does the rest
on your device. QR codes get drawn straight onto a canvas from whatever you type. The only thing that ever
touches the network is loading the tool itself and the ads. Your actual content never does.

How this actually works
Whatever you type is encoded directly into a QR code pattern and drawn onto a canvas element in your
browser. It's the same way the image and PDF tools on this site work. Nothing you type is ever sent anywhere,
so it's safe to use for private links, Wi-Fi passwords, or anything else you'd rather not upload to a server.
Is this QR code generator free?
Yep. Make and download as many as you want, no account, no watermark.
Do my links or text get uploaded anywhere?
Nope. It's drawn right in your browser. Nothing you type gets sent anywhere.
Do these QR codes expire?
Nope. It's a standard static code with your text or link baked in. Works as long as the link itself is good.
Can I use this for a business or print it?
Yep. Grab it at a large size and it'll print just fine, not just look good on a screen.

About Lotus Convert
This is a small set of tools built by one woman who got tired of "free" converters that make you
upload a file just to change its format. Everything here runs in your own browser instead, so there's
no server in the middle holding your files. No huge company behind it, no investors, just something
built to work the way a tool like this should.
The site is supported by ads (you'll see them on the page) rather than accounts or subscriptions —
that's what keeps every tool free with no file limits and no watermark. See the
privacy policy for details on how those ads work.
