Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using the maze generator.
Yes. All features — including PDF with answer key, PNG, and commercial-use SVG — are 100% free with no signup, watermark, or usage limits.
Yes. SVG and PDF exports include a license notice that allows commercial use, including in published puzzle books.

Yes. Page 1 is the maze, page 2 is the solved version with the answer path highlighted in red.
By default, Recursive Backtracker (DFS) creates long-winding paths. Expert mode lets you pick Prim's (many dead ends) or Kruskal's (balanced branches).
Yes. The Appearance panel has 6 wall-color presets, adjustable stroke width, and corner style options.
Keep the same Settings panel values — the generator uses a seeded random number generator, so identical inputs produce identical mazes.

It's a true maze generator. Strictly, a labyrinth has only one path with no choices, while a maze has branches and dead ends. The terms are often used interchangeably online — our tool creates real multicursal mazes with three classic algorithms.
