Use this tool

Why use FilePebble?

  • Runs locally in your browser
  • No account or watermark
  • Automatic download when ready

How it works

  1. Enter a full link beginning with https:// or a short text. Download the PNG and scan it with your phone before sharing.
  2. Adjust the available options and start processing.
  3. The finished result downloads automatically.

Files stay on your device

Supported PDF and image operations run in your browser. FilePebble does not upload the selected file contents to its server.

Before you start

Large files depend on your device's available memory. Keep the original until you have checked the result.

Good uses for this tool

  • Create a scannable link for a poster, menu, presentation, or printed instruction.
  • Encode short plain text for convenient transfer to a phone.
  • Generate a PNG QR code without creating an account.

A reliable workflow

  1. Paste the final link or text and remove accidental spaces.
  2. Generate the PNG and let it download automatically.
  3. Scan the code from another device before publishing or printing it.
  4. Test again at the intended physical size and viewing distance.

What to check before sharing

A QR code only contains the text you enter; it does not verify that a destination is safe or available. Use an HTTPS link, confirm spelling, and prefer a stable destination that will remain valid.

Honest limitations

Long text creates a denser code that is harder to scan when printed small. FilePebble creates a static PNG; it does not provide redirect tracking, editable destinations, analytics, or dynamic QR management.

If the result is not right

Keep a quiet white margin around the code, avoid stretching it, and use strong contrast. If scanning is unreliable, shorten the encoded text and print the code larger.
