Avery Label Support

We listened and delivered an incredible new feature in QR Factory 3 - layout the QR codes to print onto labels from Avery & DYMO.

Using the multiple codes feature, choose the label number that will be used and it will generate a multi page PDF with all the QR codes laid out exactly to the template.

Need specific sizing? Add custom dimensions if your desired size isn't in our extensive pre-set list.

 

Export Formats

QR Factory has support for many of the file formats needed for professional agencies including:

  • PDF & EPS* for vector formats
  • PNG & TIFF* for bitmap formats
  • RGB, CMYK and Grayscale color spaces
  • Export up to 4096 x 4096 pixels for bitmap formats
  • Optional rotation in 90° increments to help with certain layout requirements
* These formats are only available on the macOS version due to lack of native support on iPadOS. We're working on adding these in a future update.

It even supports the standard input and output streams for redirecting the generated QR codes, or providing the content from another tool.
