Instructions for creating a QR code for coordinates:

Data entry stage:

Enter the address using one of the following methods:

· Using the keyboard

· From the clipboard

The data will be taken from the browser after your approval. He, in turn, takes them from GPS coordinates or based on data from your Internet provider.

It is better to paste from the clipboard to avoid mistakes.

With the help of the Google Maps service, you will be given hints for the names of streets and cities.

If you paste 2 coordinates from the clipboard at once, we will automatically divide them into latitude and longitude.

After completing the data entry, a static QR code will be automatically generated.

In order to turn your static QR code with a coordinate into a dynamic one(Enable Dynamic QR)

Stage of choosing a QR code logo:

If you choose it, we will place it in the center of your QR code.

You can insert any logo or picture from your personal collection.

Preferably, it should be an SVG vector file with an opaque background.

Thanks to this, when printing a large QR code, the picture will not be blurred.

Please note that the logo cannot occupy more than 25% of the QR code, otherwise it will not be readable.

When adding a picture, logo, text, we automatically change the correction level by 30% so that the QR code can be read.

Also, our service will make an additional check for the possibility of reading the QR code, in case of an error there will be a notification.

Always check the reading quality yourself.

QR code color selection option:

You can choose from the color picker, or specify a color code from the popular color system.

With the eyedropper tool, you can copy a color from your browser window in the computer version.

This is useful to adapt the QR code color to your branded one.

You can change the color of the QR code lining.

It is important to check that it is readable in low light.

On a white background, the QR code always has the maximum reading quality.

Option to enter a signature for a QR code:

This will make it easier for the client to understand what this QR code is for and where it leads.

For example, it can be the coordinates of your location or the short name of the place.

You can type or paste text in the center of the QR code.

It is important that it is a short phrase or a number that occupies no more than 25% of the QR code area.

You can place the text above the QR code or below.

We recommend that you place the name of the QR code type at the top.

Under the QR code, the link to where it leads.

Additional settings:

· Rounding corners

You can round the squares of the QR code to add beauty.

· Quiet Zone

You can increase the indentation of space or frame from the QR code.

This indent is needed for better reading quality.

· Minimum version

It is selected automatically to increase the capacity of information.

You don't need to change it

· Level of correction

Allows you to protect the QR code from damage.

The default value is 7%.

This means that if 7% of your QR code is damaged (erased, dirty, burned out), it will still be counted by the camera.

If you choose a higher value, then our service will duplicate part of the information encrypted in the QR code, so that if the QR code is erased, it will still be counted by the camera.

If a logo or text is added to the QR code, we will automatically raise the correction level to 30% so that it is readable.

If you will place on an uneven surface or prone to dirt, we advise you to choose a value of 30%.

Stage of downloading a QR code file:

We advise you to upload in SVG format, as it is vector, which means it takes up little space and can be enlarged to any size.

The PNG format is the most versatile.

It will come in handy for those cases when your graphics editor does not support SVG.

It is possible to upload a high-resolution PNG file.

Set the name of the QR code so that later it can be more easily recognized among others;

After saving it to the account, you can download or print it.

Before printing or publishing a QR code, it is advisable to check if it can be read by the camera on several different operating systems, such as iOS, Apple iPhone, and Android phones, such as Samsung or Google.
