Draft saves your current inputs + styling so you can continue later.

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.

Used to group Saved QRs (local).

Tags (optional)

Comma-separated. Used for search in Saved QRs (local).

No saved QRs yet. Click “Save current” after you like the result.

Tip: Favoriting the template helps you find it faster next time.

Dynamic QR (editable link)

What’s this? →

Use a short redirect URL so you can change the destination later.

When to use dynamic: destination may change, URL is long, or you want tracking. When to use static: maximum reliability and the destination won’t change.

Static QR: content is embedded in the QR and can’t be edited after printing.

Google Maps QR code generator (location + directions)#

Open generator ↑

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.
