Logo
A logo hides part of the code, so error correction is raised and the size is limited to what the code can safely repair.
Error correction
A phone can still read a code that is partly damaged: scratched, dirty or covered by a logo. This level sets how much damage it can recover from. A higher level gives more reserve, but the code gets denser, with smaller squares, and holds less data.
Most people should leave Automatic: it picks M, or H with a logo, and lowers the level if the data does not fit. Choose Q or H for codes outdoors or on packaging that can get damaged, and L or M for long text or very small print. With a logo the level is never below Q.

Finding your coordinates
In Google Maps on a computer, right-click the spot and click the coordinates at the top to copy them. In the phone app, touch and hold an unlabeled area: the coordinates appear in the search box on Android and in the place details on iPhone. The first number is the latitude and the second the longitude, with a point as the decimal mark.
Two ways to open
The Google Maps link is an ordinary web address. Google says it opens in the Maps app if installed and in a browser if not, and with coordinates alone it shows just a pin. It depends on that address continuing to work. The standard geo: format contains only the coordinates and opens the default map app. Apple documents it for the iPhone, but support on other phones varies, so test it.
Questions
Can I use a street address instead?
This tool uses coordinates because they are exact. To use an address, copy a share link from your map app and make a website code from it.
Will this QR code ever expire?
No. There is nothing that can expire: the code contains your data itself and works without any server. It keeps working as long as it can be scanned and, for a link, as long as that website exists.
Is it really free? Are there limits on scans?
Yes, it is free with no account. Scans are unlimited because nobody counts them: a scan happens entirely between the code and the phone. The site is paid for by advertising.
Do you see my data or logo?
No. The code is created in your browser and nothing is uploaded. You can load the page, go offline, and it keeps working.
Will it scan on every phone?
Every code is read back by a decoder in your browser before download, and you get a warning if that fails. That is a software check, so scan one printed copy with your own phone before a large print run.
