The QR module produces real GS1 Digital Link URLs and exports them as print-ready 2D barcodes. The same code works at the till and on a consumer's phone.
Each item maps to a real workflow in the dashboard.
Standards-compliant /01/{gtin} routing with optional /10/ batch and /21/ serial qualifiers.
Inline validation on every product create or edit. GTIN-8 through GTIN-14.
PNG up to 1200px, SVG, PDF. Drop straight into existing prepress workflow.
Plain, retail-QA, label and ticket. Pick what fits the artwork window.
A generic QR generator produces a static QR with whatever URL you typed inside. There's no validation, no resolver, no batch awareness. A QR Code powered by GS1 carries a real GS1 Digital Link URL with a validated GTIN, optional batch and serial qualifiers, and a resolver that knows how to surface the right content per scan. The platform's QR module enforces the standards layer at every step. Mod-10 GTIN check digit validation on every product create or edit. Standards-compliant /01/{gtin}/10/{batch}/21/{serial} routing. See our GS1 Digital Link explainer for the URL syntax. Real /01/ Application Identifier paths that retail point-of-sale scanners read.
The platform exports SVG and PDF for packaging artwork, plus high-resolution PNG up to 1200px for digital surfaces. Vector formats survive scaling, separations, overprint and trapping (see packaging printers for prepress workflow notes), so your prepress workflow handles them the same way it handles existing 1D EAN-13 artwork. No raster nonsense, no quality loss when the code is scaled to fit a small jar lid or a large promotional poster. Frame variants (plain, retail, label, ticket) cover the placement scenarios brands run into across pack formats. The QR module is part of the free plan in PNG-only form, with vector exports unlocking on Starter and above.
Five active product pages on the free plan. No credit card. Real GS1 Digital Link from day one.
