I am well aware of https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ but is there a similar tool that generates ready to print paper wallets with some fancy designs, qr codes, etc)?
Can either generate a paper wallet to print?
If you want, since it'll be generated in an Air-Gap machine (offline), you can screenshot the window when the seed phrase is displayed.
It's not too fancy but it'll definitely be "true to the UI's design".

For example:
Sparrow will display this when you click "View Seed..." button in the wallet's 'Settings' tab (cover the passphrase):

(there's also a QR Code button below this that you can edit to display on an additional space)

Electrum's look like this:

In case if you chose Electrum; you must include a note that the mnemonic should be restored to Electrum since it's not compatible with some bitcoin wallets.

By default, those images will have a white background but you can change it like so by enabling "Dark Mode" in either wallet's settings.

Interesting, learned something new.
So which seed generation is more widespread? BIP39 or whatever Electrum uses?
Also if using BIP30 which Derivation Path is best to use in terms of future compatability?
BIP32
BIP44
BIP49
BIP84
BIP141
