YouTube QR code
On packaging or an instruction sheet, a code beats a long address: the assembly video or the demo opens on the phone while the product is in front of the person.

How it works
- Paste the video or channel address.
- Adjust the size, colours and error correction if you need to.
- Download it as PNG for print, or SVG to scale it to any size.
Why nothing is uploaded
Every operation on this page is done by code running inside your browser tab, using the same engine that renders web pages. The file is read from disk into your tab’s memory, transformed there, and written back out as a download. It is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to a third party.
Verify it yourself
- Open your browser’s developer tools (F12) and select the Network tab.
- Load your file and run the tool.
- The only requests you will see fetch the tool’s own code — and, for a few heavy tools, their open-source engine from a public CDN — plus one small page-view ping to loreatec.jp (page address and title, nothing more). None of them carry your file.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make it start at a specific moment?
Yes. Use the “Copy link at current time” option on YouTube and paste that address — the &t= parameter is carried into the code like any other part of the link.
Can I edit this code later, or see how many people scanned it?
No, and that is deliberate. The code contains your data directly, so it keeps working forever and cannot be switched off. Services offering editable codes and scan counts do it by pointing the code at their own server first — which also means the code dies the day they do, or the day the free tier ends.
Is anything uploaded?
No. A QR code is your text turned into a pattern, and that happens in this tab. Nothing is sent anywhere — which matters most for the types carrying a Wi-Fi password or a private phone number.
What size should I print it?
A rough rule: the code should be at least a tenth of the distance it is scanned from. Read at arm’s length, two centimetres is enough; on a poster read from three metres, aim for thirty. Leave the light margin around it — scanners need it to find the code.
