Tip: UTMs are for tracking clicks. If you need a shorter or editable link, use Dynamic QR.
Output & print
Print scenarios (1‑click)
Applies size/ECC/quiet zone and a caption template for common print use cases.
Download background
Useful for overlays. Keep high contrast for reliable scanning.
Tip: add a short label near the QR for better scan intent (especially for print).
Tip: for best print results, use 3–5cm+ and keep high contrast with a clear quiet zone.
Share & history (local)
Share links recreate the same QR on another device. The data is stored after # in the URL (hash-only), so it isn’t sent to the server. Privacy details →
Draft
Not saved yet
Draft saves your current inputs + styling so you can continue later.
Saved QRs
Saved instances store both content + styling locally in this browser (not uploaded).
Tip: “Local link” works only in this browser. Use “share link” to recreate the same QR on other devices.
No saved QRs yet. Click “Save current” after you like the result.

No local history yet. Use “Share this QR” to save one.

Printing? Add a short label (caption) near the QR (e.g. “Scan for directions”). It increases scan intent and reduces confusion.

Google Maps QR code generator (location + directions)#

People searching “location QR code”, “Google Maps QR code”, “Google map QR code”, or “directions QR code” want visitors to open the right place (or driving directions) fast—great for storefronts, events, pickup points, and contact pages.

  • Use the Share link from Google Maps (most compatible).
  • For driving directions, share a directions link (or use a `/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=...` format).
  • If a venue has multiple entrances, add context near the QR (e.g. “Main entrance”).
  • Print larger if people scan from a distance (storefront signs).
  • Want a structured form instead of pasting links? Try Location QR or Directions QR.

Examples (copy/paste)#

  • Coordinates: `https://maps.google.com/?q=48.8584,2.2945`
  • Place search: `https://maps.google.com/?q=Eiffel+Tower`
  • Directions: `https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=Eiffel+Tower`

Use cases that reduce "where is it?"#

  • Storefront signage and window decals
  • Event venue location (open the place page)
  • Pickup points and service areas
  • See the Google Maps QR guide for link types.

Common mistakes to avoid#

  • Using an imprecise search query instead of a shared place link
  • Linking to the wrong entrance or unit/suite
  • Printing too small (see distance sizing guide).
