About PIXAROX

PIXAROX makes QR codes you can hold. Type a link, a WiFi network or your contact details, and the tool builds the code in your browser — then exports it as a PNG, an SVG, or an STL file ready to 3D-print as a physical, scannable plate.

Why we exist

Most QR generator sites do the same three things: generate the code, put it behind a login wall, or expire it unless you pay monthly. We do none of that. A QR code is just a pattern — it costs nothing to make, it never expires, and there is no honest reason to gate it.

The 3D printing export came from a real problem: printed paper QR codes die — rain, spills, sun. A QR printed in plastic survives all three. Restaurants, workshops and offices needed that, so we built it.

How it works

• In your browser: the QR engine is pure JavaScript running on your device. What you type (links, WiFi passwords, contact details) never reaches any server.
• The STL export: the generator converts the QR matrix into a solid 3D model — a base plate with raised modules — in standard binary STL that any slicer opens.
• Free forever: the site is supported by advertising. No accounts, no watermarks, no limits.

Who it is for

Restaurants replacing paper menus, makers labeling their workshop, small businesses that want a door sign with a link, anyone who ever needed a QR that survives real life.

How we fund it

PIXAROX is free and funded by advertising. That means there are ad slots on the pages, managed by Google AdSense, and you can turn off personalised advertising from our privacy policy. We do not sell data — we hold none of yours, because the content you generate never leaves your device.

How we write our guides

Our guides are not filler text. They come from testing real printers, filaments and phones, and they get corrected whenever we find a mistake. Every guide shows its last-updated date, and our method is published in the editorial policy.

What we do not do

• We do not require an account or an email address to use the tool.
• We do not store the designs you generate.
• We do not sell or share personal information.
• We do not issue codes that expire or that depend on our domain.
• We do not sell placements or sponsored content inside the guides.
