Bitcoin Payment QR Code Generator: quick start guide
Everything you need for a first successful run: what to paste in, which option actually matters, and how to read the result.
How to use
- Open the tool and paste your input into the left pane.
- Set only the options your task actually needs — the defaults are correct for most inputs.
- Read the result in the right pane; it updates as you type.
- Use Copy to take the result, or Download to save it as a file.
Examples
BIP-21 bitcoin: URI. The address shape is checked against legacy (1…/3…) and bech32 (bc1…) forms.
