AxelBase Hybrid Generator

About AxelBase

AxelBase is a privacy-first, client-side web utility that generates secure hybrid QR + linear barcode images for maximum authentication strength. Unlike traditional QR codes or barcodes that can be read by any standard scanner, AxelBase hybrid images protect sensitive data through a combination of strong encryption and deliberate visual obfuscation.

The core innovation lies in splitting the text information into two parts. The first part, along with a timestamp and initialization vector, is encoded into the QR code. The second part is encoded into the linear barcode. Each image is encrypted using AES-128 with a dynamically generated key that is unique for every generation. This dynamic key is constructed from split components across the application and a timestamp, ensuring no two images ever share the same encryption parameters.

Standard scanning applications fail to interpret hybrid images because they lack the logic to combine both components and reconstruct the dynamic key. Even if someone captures the full image, the ciphertext appears as random characters without the official AxelBase scanner. This makes unauthorized reading practically impossible while maintaining ease of use for authorized parties.

The generator supports single text inputs and batch generation from CSV, TXT, or JSON files. Users can choose between three complexity levels — low, medium, and high — to balance generation speed with scan resilience. Higher complexity increases error correction, allowing successful scanning even when images are partially damaged or poorly printed.

All processing occurs entirely in the browser, ensuring complete data privacy. No text, files, or generated images are ever transmitted to servers. This client-side approach eliminates server-side risks and makes the tool suitable for sensitive applications such as product authentication, secure ticketing, access control, and document verification.

AxelBase was created to address the limitations of traditional visual codes while maintaining compatibility with existing printing and imaging infrastructure. By combining cryptographic strength, dynamic keys, and data splitting, it provides a powerful new layer of security for real-world authentication needs.

The tool is open-source and free to use, with no tracking, no analytics, and no data collection. It represents a commitment to privacy, security, and usability in an increasingly connected world.

Security that works for you — not against you.

How to Use the AxelBase Hybrid Generator

The AxelBase Hybrid Generator is designed to be simple and powerful. Follow these steps to create secure hybrid QR + barcode images.

1. Choose Your Mode

Single Text Mode — Enter your text directly into the main input box. This is ideal for quick generation of individual hybrids.

Batch Mode — Upload a file containing multiple texts. Supported formats include CSV (with column selection), TXT (one secret per line), and JSON (array or object values).

2. Select Complexity Level

Choose between three levels:

• Low — Fastest generation, minimal error correction. Best for digital use or perfect printing conditions.
• Medium — Balanced performance and resilience. Recommended for most applications.
• High — Maximum error correction and scan reliability. Ideal for physical labels that may experience wear or poor scanning conditions.

3. Upload or Enter

For single mode, simply type your text (minimum 4 characters). For batch mode, upload your file and select the correct column if using CSV. The system automatically detects the best column but allows manual override.

4. Generate & Review

Click the Generate button. The tool will create one or multiple hybrid images, showing previews of the first 10. Review the images to ensure they look correct.

5. Download Results

Single images can be downloaded as PNG. Batch generations are packaged as a ZIP file containing all hybrids with padded filenames (e.g., hybrid_0001.png).

Tips for Best Results

• Use texts of at least 4 characters for security.
• Choose high complexity for physical use cases.
• Review warnings after file upload to catch any skipped entries.
• Always test generated images with the official AxelBase scanner.
