# QR Code for Confluence — Which QR App Should Your Team Use? April 18, 2026 · 5 min read [NGPilot](https://ngpilot.com) Teams print Confluence page links on posters, equipment labels, desk signs, and handouts. A QR code on a physical object that links to the relevant Confluence page saves everyone from typing long URLs. It's a small thing that removes friction in offices, warehouses, and events. But Confluence has no built-in QR code generation. A handful of marketplace apps fill this niche — it's a small market with roughly 130 total installs across all apps. We built **QRCode for Confluence** to let teams embed QR codes directly into pages with a simple `/qrcode` slash command. In this post we compare it against the alternatives. ## Use Cases for QR Codes in Confluence[​](#use-cases-for-qr-codes-in-confluence "Direct link to Use Cases for QR Codes in Confluence") * **Equipment and asset labels** — Stick a QR code on a server rack or office printer. Scan it to open the Confluence page with specs, instructions, or support info. * **Event handouts** — Print QR codes on conference materials that link to detailed session notes or documentation. * **Office signage** — Put QR codes on meeting room doors linking to booking pages or room policies. * **Onboarding materials** — New hires scan codes on their desk to open IT setup guides, team wikis, or HR resources. * **Warehouse and inventory** — QR codes on shelves link to inventory procedures or safety docs. ## What's Available on the Marketplace[​](#whats-available-on-the-marketplace "Direct link to What's Available on the Marketplace") Only five apps generate QR codes for Confluence. The market is tiny: | App | Vendor | Installs | Rating | Last Updated | Hosting | Price (50 users/yr) | | ------------------------- | ----------- | -------- | ----------------- | ------------ | --------- | ------------------- | | qr2page | Seibert | 71 | 3.5/5 (2 reviews) | Mar 2026 | Cloud | $50 | | Barcodes for Confluence | codalyx | 38 | 3.5/5 (4 reviews) | Mar 2026 | DC only | $125 | | QR Code Generator | Atlas Inc. | 13 | 3.0/5 (1 review) | Apr 2018 | Cloud | $150 | | Moves QR Generator | Dmove | 6 | — | Sep 2025 | Cloud | Free | | **QRCode for Confluence** | **NGPILOT** | **2** | — | **Apr 2025** | **Cloud** | **$75** | *Data from Atlassian Marketplace, April 2026.* This is one of the smallest app categories on the marketplace. No app has crossed 100 installs. None are Cloud Fortified. **Seibert's qr2page** (71 installs) leads — from the same vendor behind draw\.io and Templating.app. It generates QR codes from the page menu for printing, focused on physical-to-digital bridging. **Barcodes for Confluence** by codalyx (38 installs) is the only Data Center option and supports multiple barcode formats beyond QR codes. Most reviewed app in this category (4 reviews). **Atlas Inc.'s QR Code Generator** (13 installs) was last updated in **April 2018** — effectively abandoned after 8 years. Still listed and still charging $150/yr. **Moves QR Generator** by Dmove (6 installs) is the only completely free option but has minimal adoption. ## Feature Comparison[​](#feature-comparison "Direct link to Feature Comparison") | Feature | QRCode for Confluence (NGPILOT) | qr2page (Seibert) | Barcodes for Confluence (codalyx) | QR Code Generator (Atlas) | Moves QR Generator (Dmove) | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------- | | **Slash command** | Yes (`/qrcode`) | No | No | No | No | | **Inline embed in page** | Yes (macro on page) | No (page menu only) | Yes (macro) | Yes (macro) | Yes | | **Encode any text/URL** | Yes | No (page URL only) | Yes | Yes | Yes | | **Customizable sizes** | 5 (XS to XL) | No | No | No | No | | **QR code format** | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | **Other barcode formats** | No | No | Yes (multiple) | No | No | | **Generate from page menu** | No | Yes | No | No | No | | **Print-focused** | No | Yes | No | No | No | | **Free tier** | Yes (10 users) | Yes (10 users) | Yes (10 users) | No ($10/yr min) | Yes (fully free) | | **Actively maintained** | Yes (2025) | Yes (2026) | Yes (2026) | **No (2018)** | Limited (2025) | | **Hosting** | Cloud | Cloud | DC only | Cloud | Cloud | ### Where QRCode for Confluence Stands Out[​](#where-qrcode-for-confluence-stands-out "Direct link to Where QRCode for Confluence Stands Out") **Slash command workflow** — Type `/qrcode` in the Confluence editor and the macro appears immediately. No navigating to page menus or admin panels. The fastest way to add a QR code to any page. **Encode any content** — Enter any text or URL, not just the current page URL. Encode website links, email addresses, phone numbers, Wi-Fi credentials, or plain text. Other apps like qr2page only generate codes for the current Confluence page. **Five size options** — Choose from X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large. Use XS for inline badges, XL for posters and signs that need to be scanned from a distance. Most competitors offer a single fixed size. **Re-editable** — Click on an existing QR code and select Edit to change the content or size. Your settings are preserved across edits. **Free for small teams** — Full features available free for up to 10 users. ### Where We Could Improve[​](#where-we-could-improve "Direct link to Where We Could Improve") * **2 installs** — The smallest install base in this category. We launched in early 2025 and are building traction. * **No print-focused workflow** — Seibert's qr2page generates QR codes from the page menu specifically for printing and attaching to physical objects. Our app embeds QR codes inline on pages. * **No other barcode formats** — Barcodes for Confluence by codalyx supports multiple barcode types (EAN, Code128, etc.) beyond QR codes. We only generate QR codes. * **No Data Center support** — Cloud-only. Barcodes for Confluence is the only DC option. * **No batch generation** — Can't generate QR codes for multiple pages at once. Each one is added individually. ## Which App Do You Need?[​](#which-app-do-you-need "Direct link to Which App Do You Need?") | You need... | Use this | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Generate QR codes from the page menu for printing | qr2page by Seibert | | Multiple barcode formats (not just QR) on Data Center | Barcodes for Confluence by codalyx | | A completely free option | Moves QR Generator by Dmove | | Quick inline QR codes with `/qrcode` slash command | **QRCode for Confluence** | | Customizable QR code sizes for different use cases | **QRCode for Confluence** | | Encode custom text (not just page URLs) | **QRCode for Confluence** | ## Related Posts[​](#related-posts "Direct link to Related Posts") * [Google Fonts for Confluence — Which Custom Typography App Fits Your Team?](/blog/google-fonts-confluence-custom-typography.md) * [Numbered Headings for Confluence — Which Table of Contents App Fits Your Docs?](/blog/confluence-numbered-headings-comparison.md) ## Get Started[​](#get-started "Direct link to Get Started") * Install **QRCode for Confluence** from the [Atlassian Marketplace](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1236735/qrcode-for-confluence) — free for up to 10 users * [Read the full documentation](/docs/QRCode-for-Confluence/usage.md) Have questions or feedback?
