Want to **generate QR codes** in Python? 📱 In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create **custom QR codes** using Python with the `qrcode` library. Whether you need QR codes for **web links, WiFi access, contact details, or payments**, this guide has you covered! By the end of this video, you’ll know how to generate, customize, and save **high-quality QR codes** using just a few lines of Python code! 🚀 — ## **🔹 What You’ll Learn in This Video:** ✅ How to install the **qrcode** library in Python ✅ How to generate a **basic QR code** ✅ How to create a **customized QR code** with colors and styles ✅ How to save QR codes as **PNG or SVG** ✅ How to scan and test QR codes — ## **🔹 Prerequisites** ✔️ **Python Installed** ([Download Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)) ✔️ **Basic Python knowledge** ✔️ A **code editor** (VS Code, PyCharm, etc.) — ## **🔹 Step 1: Install the qrcode Library** To generate QR codes in Python, install the `qrcode` library: “`bash
pip install qrcode[pil]
“` This also installs **Pillow**, which allows us to save QR codes as images. — ## **🔹 Step 2: Generate a Simple QR Code** Create a basic QR code that links to a website: “`python
import qrcode # Data to encode
data = "https://www.example.com" # Create QR code
qr = qrcode.QRCode( version=1, # QR code size (1 to 40) error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L, # Error correction level box_size=10, # Size of each box in the QR grid border=4, # Border thickness
) qr.add_data(data)
qr.make(fit=True) # Create and save the image
img = qr.make_image(fill="black", back_color="white")
img.save("qr_code.png") print("QR Code generated successfully!")
“` This generates a **qr_code.png** file that can be scanned with any QR scanner! 📷 — ## **🔹 Step 3: Customize the QR Code (Color & Design)** Want a **custom-colored QR code**? Modify the `make_image()` function: “`python
img = qr.make_image(fill="blue", back_color="yellow")
img.save("custom_qr_code.png")
“` This creates a **blue-on-yellow** QR code! 🎨 — ## **🔹 Step 4: Generate QR Code with a Logo (Advanced)** To add a **logo** inside the QR code, use the `PIL` library: “`python
from PIL import Image # Load QR code and logo
qr_code = Image.open("qr_code.png")
logo = Image.open("logo.png") # Resize logo
logo_size = (qr_code.size[0] // 5, qr_code.size[1] // 5)
logo = logo.resize(logo_size) # Paste logo onto QR code
qr_code.paste(logo, ((qr_code.size[0] – logo.size[0]) // 2, (qr_code.size[1] – logo.size[1]) // 2), mask=logo)
qr_code.save("qr_code_with_logo.png")
“` This embeds a **small logo** in the center of the QR code! 🚀 — ## **🔹 Step 5: Scan and Test Your QR Code** 1️⃣ Open your phone’s **camera or QR scanner app** 2️⃣ Scan the QR code 3️⃣ It should redirect you to **https://www.example.com** — ## **🔹 FAQs About QR Code Generation in Python** 🔹 **What is a QR code?** A QR (Quick Response) code is a scannable barcode that stores data like **URLs, WiFi passwords, payment details, and more**. 🔹 **Can I generate QR codes for text, phone numbers, or WiFi?** Yes! Just change the **data** inside the `qr.add_data()` function. Example for **WiFi QR Code:** “`python
data = "WIFI:T:WPA;S:MyNetwork;P:MyPassword;;"
qr.add_data(data)
“` 🔹 **How can I generate QR codes in bulk?** Use a loop to create multiple QR codes dynamically. Example: “`python
for i in range(5): data = f"https://example.com/user{i}" qr = qrcode.make(data) qr.save(f"user_qr_{i}.png")
“` 🔹 **Can I scan QR codes in Python?** Yes! Use the `opencv` or `pyzbar` libraries to **scan and decode** QR codes. — ## **🔹 Who Is This Tutorial For?** ✅ Developers who want to **generate QR codes** for websites, apps, or WiFi ✅ Python beginners looking for a **fun and useful project** ✅ Businesses needing **branded QR codes** for marketing — ## **👍 Like, Share & Subscribe!** If this tutorial helped you, please **LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE** for more **Python and automation tutorials**! 🚀 💬 Have questions?
