Output & print

Use case

Print size presets

Uses the DPI setting below to set pixel size.

Print scenarios (1‑click)

Applies size/ECC/quiet zone and a caption template for common print use cases.

Print DPI

Only affects the cm print presets (SVG is resolution independent).

Download background

Transparent background (PNG/SVG)

Useful for overlays. Keep high contrast for reliable scanning.

Error correction

Size

Quiet zone (margin)

Caption (optional)

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.

Poster / sticker sheet (SVG)

Download a print-ready layout with title + QR + caption + optional link line. The “Caption” field above is used as the CTA line.

Tip: enable “Dynamic QR” above to generate a short link for posters/stickers.

Print at 100% scale (disable “Fit to page”).

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

Name (optional)

Saved locally (draft/history). Included in share links.

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.

Folder (optional)

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.

Recent

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

Live preview

Keep the QR in view while you edit

As you change inputs or style templates, this panel stays visible so you can check the QR and scan grade without losing context.

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

Open the URL helper when you need UTMs, a cleaner destination, or a Dynamic QR handoff.

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.
