how it works
Glyph generates static QR codes that point directly to your destination URL. There is no server-side routing or tracking. All your QR codes are saved in your browser's local storage, meaning they never leave your device unless you choose to download or share them.
Dashboard
viewing your qr codes
Access your dashboard to see all QR codes you've saved. Each code displays its destination URL, creation date, and scan count. You can download, edit, or delete codes directly from the dashboard.
editing qr codes
Click "edit" on any QR code in the dashboard to change its colors, add or remove a logo, or update the destination URL. Changes are saved immediately to your local storage.
data persistence
All data is stored in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browser's data will delete all your saved QR codes. We recommend downloading important QR codes as PNG backups to ensure you don't lose them.
Customization
colors
Customize the foreground and background colors of your QR code. Choose from our presets (classic, warm, accent, inverted, forest) or pick custom colors using the color picker.
logo overlay
Upload a logo image to overlay in the center of your QR code. The logo will be displayed with a background box for readability. Supported formats: PNG, JPG, SVG.
