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 Event QR Codes Work

Event QR codes encode calendar data in the iCalendar (ICS) format — the universal standard for digital calendar events. When scanned, the user's phone prompts them to add the event to their calendar app with all the details pre-filled: title, start time, end time, location, and description.

This works with every major calendar app: Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and others. The event data is stored in the QR image — no internet connection needed at scan time.

How to Create an Event QR Code

  1. Enter the event title and set the start and end date/time.
  2. Add location and description (optional) — include the venue address and any agenda notes.
  3. Download and share your QR code. Print it on invitations, posters, or flyers.

Where to Use Event QR Codes

Frequently Asked Questions

Which calendar apps does this work with?

Event QR codes use the iCalendar (ICS) format, which is supported by Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Calendar, and virtually every other calendar application.

Can I include a meeting link (Zoom, Google Meet)?

Yes. Add the meeting URL in the description or location field. When the user adds the event to their calendar, the link will be right there in the event details.

What time zone is used?

The event uses your local timezone when you create it. The QR code stores the exact date and time, and the recipient's calendar app will display it in their local timezone if different.

Can I create a recurring event?

The current generator creates a single one-off event because recurring rules (RRULE) make the QR code significantly larger and harder to scan. For recurring events — weekly meetups, monthly classes — create the event in your own calendar with a recurrence rule, then share that calendar's public URL via a URL QR code instead.

What's the difference between this and just a date in text?

A plain text QR code shows the date as text — the user has to copy it manually into their calendar. An event QR code triggers the calendar app's 'Add Event' dialog with all fields pre-filled. One tap saves the event to the user's calendar with the right date, time, location, and description. Much higher conversion for event RSVPs.

Will the event include reminders or alarms?

The QR code itself doesn't set reminders — reminders are added when the user saves the event, based on their calendar app's default reminder settings. Most apps default to a 15-minute or 1-hour reminder for new events. If you need a specific reminder time, mention it in the description.

Can guests RSVP through the QR code?

Not directly — ICS events from QR codes are saved to the scanner's personal calendar with no link back to you. For RSVP tracking, point a URL QR code at a registration form (Google Forms, Eventbrite, Lu.ma, etc.) instead. You can then send the calendar invite from your tool of choice after they register.
