How QRWave works and how we maintain its guides

What the project does

QRWave is an independent project for creating contact links and static QR codes. The full generator includes WhatsApp, other channels, Wi-Fi, exports and print tools. We are not affiliated with WhatsApp, Meta or the other brands mentioned.

What happens in your browser

Links and QR codes are composed in the browser. Opening a link takes you to its destination service. Optional shortening sends the URL to an external provider; the contact form sends your message to a dedicated service. GA4 and Clarity start after analytics consent. Cloudflare Web Analytics uses a cookieless beacon. The policies describe these activities separately.

How tools and guides are maintained

Guides address a concrete task and refer to the relevant service’s instructions where available. During changes we automatically check link formats, generators, interface translations, internal links, structured data and consent rules. Those checks do not replace trying your own phone, app and final print.

A guide’s date records a content revision. When two pages address the same need we consolidate them and preserve redirects from the old URLs. Word count and page count are not quality measures.

Practical limits

A printed static QR cannot change its own content and does not include scan statistics. A contact link does not guarantee a sent message, third-party availability or a business result. Other apps can change their interfaces. Check the recipient and actual behaviour before distributing a link.

Report a problem

Use the contact form to tell us the page, browser and steps needed to reproduce a problem. Leave out passwords, customer records and other confidential information. See Privacy and Cookies for data handling.

Choose the tool for the result you need

Each dedicated page lets you complete its task. A QRWave account is not required.

What we check and what you need to test

Project checks include decoding exported QR files with independent readers and comparing the result with the expected contents. Automated checks do not certify your phone, router or print shop. Before distribution, check the real destination and a copy on the final material. Report problems through Contact with the page and reproduction steps, without sending credentials.
