Forge: QR Code & Label Maker

Forge makes QR codes and barcodes on your phone, ready to print. A code you print today still works years from now. There is no subscription, no "your code expired" email, and no link that runs through a domain we control. Use it for cafe menus, SEPA payment requests, market price tags, vCard business cards, and Etsy or eMag SKUs.

PRINT READY

Forge is built for printed labels, not only screens.

• Avery label sheets: L7651 (65 small price stickers), L7160 (21 address labels), L7163, 5160, 5163, 8160, plus a custom grid editor.

• Thermal label PDFs: 40x30, 50x30, 50x40, 80x40, 80x60 mm, plus custom sizes.

• Cut marks, the Android print framework, and save without sharing. Print every product at once.

CHECKED BEFORE YOU SAVE

Every code is decoded again before it is saved. The scannability indicator turns green only when a real scanner can read it, even with your logo, your colors, and a gradient. You will not print 100 stickers and find out at the till that they do not scan.

27 CODE TYPES

• QR content: URL, plain text, vCard, WiFi, email, SMS, phone, geo location, calendar event, EPC SEPA payment, PayPal, UPI, PIX, crypto (BIP-21), and app or Play Store links.

• Barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, Codabar, PDF417, Data Matrix, and Aztec.

DESIGN THAT STILL SCANS

More than 40 decorative frames, 11 module shapes, 8 eye shapes, solid or gradient foregrounds, transparent backgrounds, and a logo overlay that raises the error correction level for you. One tap preset styles get you started, and the validator flags low contrast color choices before you commit them.

BULK WORK

• Product catalog with name, SKU, GTIN-13 (check digit validated), price, photo, and description.

• CSV import up to 1,000 rows, with sequential numbering tokens such as {n} and {n:0000}, and automatic encoding detection (UTF-8, UTF-8 BOM, ISO-8859-1). The import runs in the background with a progress notification.

• Print every product as one label sheet.

PRICING

• Free, with banner ads on the list, settings, and catalog screens. Never inside the create flow.

• One full screen ad after every third export, with a 90 second cool down.

• A single one-time purchase removes ads for good. No subscription, and no features locked behind a paywall.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• The codes you make stay on your phone. There is no account and no server that we run.

• The only analytics is Firebase Analytics for app-usage events, controlled by your ad personalization consent in the EEA. The content of your codes is never sent anywhere.

• Crashlytics reports stability data and can be turned off in Settings with one tap.

• Google Drive backup is started by you and saves to your own Drive.

• A bundled list of 37,670 known phishing and malware hosts is checked on your device. Your URLs are never sent to a server.

FITS YOUR PHONE

• Material You with dynamic color on Android 12 and later.

• 19 color themes, all contrast checked for readability.

• Light, dark, AMOLED, and system theme modes.

• 5 font families, including OpenDyslexic.

• Font scale from 0.8x to 1.5x, plus a high contrast mode.

• 12 languages, with full right to left support for Arabic.

• Per-app language override on Android 13 and later.
