QR Places & Events

Four tools for linking a QR code to a place or an event. Geo QR payload builds geographic content, Location QR shares coordinates or a place, Event QR code prepares a calendar event and QR for App points to a mobile app page. Useful for posters, invitations, reception and field materials. Free and no sign-up.

Decide what the scan should trigger. For a point on a map, use Geo QR payload or Location QR. To add a date to a calendar, choose Event QR code. To send users to a mobile app, pick QR for App. Test the result on several phones.

How to use

Define what the scan should open: a geographic point, a location, a calendar event or a mobile app page. Geo QR payload, Location QR, Event QR code and QR for App match those cases.
For a point on a map, start with Geo QR payload, then check the entered coordinates before generating the code.
To share a place in a maps application, use Location QR and test opening it on the target phone.
For a date or an app, choose Event QR code or QR for App, review the details and scan the code before sharing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Geo QR payload and Location QR?

Geo QR payload builds the geographic content of a point. Location QR shares coordinates or a place in a maps application. Both aim at location, but the wording and use case can differ.

Does Event QR code add a reminder?

Event QR code shares a calendar event. What happens next depends on the app used by the person scanning. Check the date, time and place before sharing.

Which tool should I choose to add an event to a calendar?

Event QR code prepares a calendar event. It fits sharing a date, time and place with the person scanning. Check those details before sharing, because adding them depends on their app.

How can I check a location QR before printing?

Scan Location QR with a phone that has a maps application. Confirm that the place or coordinates match the intended spot. Also test on a second device if the item will reach a wide audience.
