Local uploads stay in your browser and only appear on the printed card. The QR data uses the URL above.

Tip: right-click any spot on Google Maps and copy the coordinates

A red Swiss flag is automatically overlaid on the QR — required by Swiss banks.

Paste a BOLT11 invoice (lnbc...) or a Lightning address. We prefix with the lightning: URI scheme so any Lightning wallet can scan it.

Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, Bitwarden, and any standard TOTP app.

Encodes the entire authorized_keys line. Scan to copy/paste the key onto a new machine.

For very long keys, use rMQR landscape or split into multiple QRs. Standard QR caps around ~2KB.

The official WireGuard mobile apps scan these directly. Never include your private key in a printed QR — only digital sharing.

GS1 Digital Link is the modern web-friendly alternative to the EAN-13 barcode for retail products. Resolver domain defaults to id.gs1.org but you can use your own.

Paste the share link from the Spotify app, or just the ID. We build the open.spotify.com URL automatically.

Format depends on platform — for Mastodon use @user@instance, for Bluesky use handle.bsky.social, for Nostr paste the npub key.

Geo URI (RFC 5870) opens directly in any maps app on the device — Google Maps, Apple Maps, OsmAnd, etc. — without picking a vendor.

Standard BitTorrent magnet link. Scanned by any BitTorrent client that supports URI scheme handlers.

Paste a full RFC 5545 iCalendar payload — supports multiple events, alarms, recurring rules. Most calendar apps import the QR directly.

Local uploads stay in your browser and only appear on the printed card. MeCard QR data has no photo field.

MeCard is a simpler alternative to vCard, preferred by some Android devices

Micro QR capacity: 35 digits, 21 uppercase alphanumeric, or ~15 bytes (lowercase/URLs). Best for short codes, serial numbers, and IDs. For URLs, use standard QR instead.

Most phone cameras cannot scan Micro QR codes. This format requires specialized industrial scanners (e.g. Scandit, Cognex). Use standard QR for general-purpose scanning.

Rectangular Micro QR — a narrow, wide format ideal for test tubes, wristbands, and ticket strips. Up to 361 characters.

Most phone cameras cannot scan rMQR codes. This format requires specialized industrial scanners. Use standard QR for general-purpose scanning.

Renders behind the QR at reduced opacity. Auto-forces EC=H so the QR still scans through the photo.

Batch Generation

Upload a CSV to generate up to 500 QR codes in a single batch. Each row becomes its own QR — pick a template or override 21 properties on a per-row basis: colors, frames, dot/eye/eyeball styles, gradients, transparency, size, error correction, format, built-in logo, and more.

21 columns: type, data, filename, frametext, frame, template, fgcolor, bgcolor, size, ec, dotstyle, eyestyle, format, logo, gradient, g2, gtype, gangle, transparent, eyeball, eyecolor. Only type and data are required. Use | to separate fields inside data (e.g. ssid|password|WPA).

All 20 QR types supported, including URL, WiFi, vCard, MeCard, Email, SMS, Event, Location, UPI, SEPA, PayPal, Crypto, Micro QR and rMQR. Download the sample CSV to see every column, all 40 templates, 11 frame styles, and the 12 built-in logos in action.

Save the entire QR — type, all field values, style, frame, logo, business card design — as a single .qr.json file. Load it later to recreate everything in one click.

How Email QR Codes Work

An email QR code encodes a mailto: link that opens the user's default email app with fields already filled in. You can pre-set the recipient email address, subject line, and even the email body. The user just needs to hit send — or modify the message before sending.

This works with any email app on any device — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo, and any other email client that handles mailto: links.

How to Create an Email QR Code

  1. Enter the recipient email — the address that will receive the email when someone scans.
  2. Add subject and message (optional) — pre-fill the subject line and body text so users don't have to type.
  3. Download and print your QR code. Perfect for signs, forms, and packaging.

Where to Use Email QR Codes

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pre-fill the email subject and body?

Yes. Both the subject line and message body are optional fields you can pre-fill. The recipient can still edit them before sending. This is great for standardizing feedback, support requests, or inquiries.

Which email apps does this work with?

Email QR codes use the standard mailto: protocol, which works with every email app — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, Thunderbird, and any other client that handles email links.

Can I add CC or BCC recipients?

The current generator supports the primary recipient, subject, and body fields. For CC/BCC, you can encode the full mailto: link manually using the Text QR code type with the format: mailto:to@example.com?cc=cc@example.com&bcc=bcc@example.com

Why does the email open in a browser instead of my mail app?

On desktop and on some Android devices without a default mail app set, mailto: links open in a webmail interface (Gmail, Outlook.com) instead of a native client. The user can change their default mail handler in their browser or OS settings to control this. There's nothing the QR code itself can do to force one over the other.

How long can the pre-filled message body be?

Technically the limit is around 2,000 characters total for the URL (including subject and body), but practically you should keep the body under 200 characters. Longer bodies make the QR code dense and slow to scan, plus some email clients truncate very long mailto: bodies. Use the body field for templates and prompts, not full essays.

Can I include line breaks in the message body?

Yes — press Enter in the message field and we'll encode the line break as %0A in the URL. Most email clients render this as a newline when they pre-fill the body. If line breaks don't appear, the user's email client may strip them; in that case use periods or semicolons as soft separators.

Will scanning send the email automatically?

No. The QR code only opens the user's email composer with the fields pre-filled. The user must review and tap Send themselves — mailto: cannot dispatch mail without explicit action. This is by design and prevents abuse.
