What it is
Pix QR Generator is an independent site that converts a Pix key into a QR code in the BR Code standard. It exists because, to get a printable QR image with an amount, identifier and name, many people end up installing third-party apps or paying for billing services. In most cases all you need is an image you can print or send over WhatsApp.
How it works
The page builds the BR Code payload from the data you type, following the Central Bank of Brazil's Manual de Padrões para Iniciação do Pix and the EMV QR Code specification (Merchant Presented Mode), calculates the CRC16 and draws the QR code with open-source JavaScript, all in your browser. There is no application server, database or user accounts. If you open the page and switch off the internet, it keeps working.
What it is not
This site is not a bank, a payment institution or a Pix participant. It does not move money, does not query the key directory, does not know whether a key is registered, does not issue dynamic codes and never asks for passwords or login details. Payments go directly from the payer's app to the account linked to the key, exactly as if the key had been typed by hand. We do not see transactions and cannot reverse them or help with disputes; for that, contact your institution.
Who maintains it
The tool is built and maintained by an independent developer and is supported by unobtrusive ads so it can stay free. Found a bug or want to suggest something? Use the contact page.
