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 125+ QR/barcode types supported, including URL, WiFi, vCard, TOTP, Swiss QR-bill, PIX, PromptPay, ZATCA, PayNow, Bitcoin + Lightning, and more. Download the sample CSV to see every column, all 50 templates, 11 frame styles, and 336 built-in logo icons in action.

Need to change the destination after it's printed?
Optional: save as a Pro shortcode so you can swap the destination later without reprinting. Password-gating, scheduled activation, heatmap and ROI analytics, public stats pages, and a static backup QR. 90-day grace, no lock-in.
What is the EU Digital Product Passport?
The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a structured, machine-readable record of a product's identity, origin, materials, energy footprint, durability, repairability, and recyclability — accessible through a data carrier (typically a QR code or Data Matrix) physically applied to the product or its packaging. It is mandated by the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) — Regulation (EU) 2024/1781. The central EU DPP registry opens 19 July 2026, and mandatory requirements roll out by product category through 2030.
Which products need a DPP?
ESPR phases in across product categories. First-wave categories (2026–2027): textiles, batteries (under the parallel EU 2023/1542), iron & steel, aluminium, chemicals (REACH), electronics & ICT, furniture, tyres, detergents, paints. Second wave (2028–2030): construction products, children's toys, cosmetics, white-goods, and more. If you sell a physical product into the EU, check the ESPR delegated act for your category to confirm the timeline.
What goes in the QR?
The QR encodes a GS1 Digital Link URL pointing to your DPP record. Article 10 of ESPR explicitly requires this: "the data carrier shall be compliant with international standards, physically present on the product or its packaging, using open and interoperable formats without vendor lock-in." GS1 Digital Link + JSON-LD + ISO/IEC 15459:2015 is the only combination that satisfies all three simultaneously.
URL structure: https://{your-resolver}/01/{GTIN}/21/{SERIAL}/10/{LOT}/11/{PRODUCTION-DATE}. The serial number (AI 21) is required for DPP — every product instance must be uniquely addressable so a scan returns the specific unit's record, not the SKU template.
What must the resolver return?
When the QR is scanned, the resolver URL must return structured DPP data. Minimum fields across all ESPR categories:
- Unique identifier — GTIN + serial, ISO/IEC 15459:2015 compliant
- Product origin — manufacturer, country of production, supply-chain events (EPCIS)
- Material composition — substances of concern (REACH / SVHC), recycled content %
- Environmental footprint — energy use, carbon footprint, water use (category-dependent)
- Durability & repairability — expected lifetime, repair scoring, spare-parts availability
- Recyclability — disassembly instructions, end-of-life pathways
- Compliance certificates — CE marking, energy-label reference, category-specific conformity
Per ESPR, the DPP data must be accessible without a dedicated app — native iOS and Android camera QR scanning must land on a human-readable page or the raw JSON-LD record. Paywalls, login gates, and tracking-first redirects are non-compliant.
How this generator helps
Paste your DPP resolver URL (your brand's own domain or an accredited DPP-as-a-service provider), your product's GTIN, and the unit's serial number. We emit a valid GS1 Digital Link URL you can print on the product, its packaging, or both. For label durability, consider printing as a Data Matrix (smaller footprint, same URL) — we support that too.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the EU DPP mandate start?
The central EU DPP registry opens 19 July 2026. Mandatory product-category requirements begin rolling out from that date through 2030 — textiles, batteries, electronics, and steel are in the first wave. The ESPR regulation itself came into force 18 July 2024; delegated acts set per-category timelines.
Does my product need a DPP?
If you sell a physical product into the EU market that falls under an ESPR delegated act category (textile, battery, steel, electronics, furniture, chemicals, construction, and more are in scope), yes — you must affix a scannable data carrier that resolves to a DPP record. Check your category's specific delegated act for exact scope and timeline.
Where is the DPP record hosted?
Either on the manufacturer's own domain or via an accredited DPP-as-a-service provider (Circularise, Billi Global, Trustrace, etc.). The URL must be registered in the EU central registry (operational from July 2026) so regulators and customs can validate it. You own the data; the registry indexes the resolver URL.
What's the difference between GS1 Digital Link and EU DPP?
GS1 Digital Link is the URL syntax — the container. DPP is the content — the structured sustainability data the URL resolves to. Article 10 of ESPR mandates GS1 Digital Link as the URI format for DPP, so every DPP QR is also a GS1 Digital Link QR, but the reverse isn't true.
Does the QR itself need to contain the DPP data?
No — only the URL. The DPP content (JSON-LD per GS1 Web Vocabulary, with category-specific profiles) is served by the resolver when the URL is fetched. This keeps the QR small and lets the DPP data update over time (e.g. to add new EPCIS events, or to publish a recall notice) without reprinting the product.
Can I use a short URL or link shortener?
Technically a shortener works, but ESPR Article 10 requires the URL to be "without vendor lock-in" and resolvable long-term. A shortener controlled by a third party who could go out of business or paywall the service fails that test. Use your own domain or an accredited DPP provider that publishes a stability commitment.
Do I need a serial number for every product?
Yes — this is the key DPP change vs. classic EAN-13. Each individual product instance must be addressable: "this specific t-shirt" or "this specific battery", not "this SKU". Serial numbers follow AI 21 (ISO/IEC 15459:2015) and are rendered as /21/{serial} in the URL.
QR code or Data Matrix?
Either is ESPR-compliant. QR wins for consumer-phone scanning (native camera support). Data Matrix wins for small-product labels (~30% smaller for the same URL), industrial line printing, and pharma-style DPM (Direct Part Marking). We support both; generate one primary carrier and add the other as a backup if label real-estate allows.
What happens if I don't comply?
Products without a valid DPP (once their category's deadline passes) cannot be sold in the EU. Customs can block imports; national market-surveillance authorities can issue withdrawal orders and fines up to 4% of annual EU turnover per the ESPR enforcement framework. For battery-category products, parallel enforcement under EU 2023/1542 adds criminal liability for severe violations.
