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

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.

What is GS1 Digital Link?
GS1 Digital Link is the future of product identification. It encodes the same data as the classic EAN-13 / UPC-A barcode (GTIN, lot, serial, expiration) but as a URL, so a single scan can take a customer to a product page, an authentication check, an instructional video, or all of them at once. It's defined in ISO/IEC 15459 and the GS1 Standards. Major retailers and brand owners (P&G, Nestlé, Walmart, L'Oréal) are migrating to it, and GS1 has set 2027 as the target for "Sunrise 2027" — full retail support.
The URL pattern is: https://<resolver>/01/<gtin>/10/<lot>/21/<serial> where 01, 10, and 21 are GS1 Application Identifiers (GTIN, batch/lot, serial number). The resolver can be the public id.gs1.org or your own brand domain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a GTIN?
Global Trade Item Number. The 14-digit international product identifier that includes EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, and GTIN-12 as subsets. We pad shorter formats to 14 digits with leading zeros automatically.
Can I use my own domain as the resolver?
Yes. Brand owners increasingly use their own domain (e.g. id.example.com or example.com/p) so they own the customer relationship. Configure your resolver with the GS1 standard rules so it can return product data, marketing pages, recall info, etc.
How does this differ from QR-on-pack today?
Today's QR-on-pack is usually a marketing URL like example.com/promo. GS1 Digital Link is a structured URL that includes the GS1 product identifier inside the URL itself. POS scanners can extract the GTIN from the URL and treat it as a regular EAN, while consumer scanners get the marketing experience. Same QR, dual purpose.
Will this scan at the checkout?
Once retailers upgrade their POS systems to recognize GS1 Digital Link URLs (Sunrise 2027), yes. Until then, the QR is consumer-facing only. Most retailers run dual barcodes (EAN + DL QR) during the migration.
What's the lot/serial for?
Lot is the production batch (used for recalls and traceability). Serial is the unique unit ID (used for anti-counterfeit and individual-item authentication). Both are optional — for most consumer products you only need the GTIN.
Can I add expiration date?
Yes — GS1 AI 17 is expiration. Append /17/YYMMDD to the URL. Our generator currently exposes GTIN, lot, and serial in the UI; for expiration use the URL QR type and craft the path manually.
Do I need to register with GS1?
To use a real GTIN you've assigned to a real product, yes — GS1 manages the global namespace. For testing and prototypes, the 14-digit numbers in the GS1 GTIN-allocation guide work.
