QR Code Generation Project

Overview

This project demonstrates two methods of generating QR codes using Python. The first method uses the qrcode library to create a simple QR code, while the second method uses the same library along with PIL to generate a customized QR code with specified colors.

Features

• Simple QR Code Generation: Creates a basic QR code and saves it as an image file.
• Customized QR Code Generation: Generates a QR code with specified fill and background colors, and saves it as an image file.

Skills Used

• Python
• QR Code Generation
• Image Processing
• Python Imaging Library (PIL)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/qr-code-generation-project.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd qr-code-generation-project

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install qrcode[pil]

Usage

Simple QR Code Generation

1. Open the simple_qr.py file and replace the empty string in qr.make("") with your desired data.
2. Run the script to generate the QR code:

   python simple_qr.py

3. The QR code image will be saved as twishapatel.png.

Customized QR Code Generation

1. Open the custom_qr.py file and replace the URL in qr.add_data("http://localhost/wordpress/") with your desired data.
2. Modify the fill_color and back_color parameters to customize the QR code colors.
3. Run the script to generate the customized QR code:

   python custom_qr.py

4. The customized QR code image will be saved as colorQR1.png.

Example

Simple QR Code

import qrcode as qr
img = qr.make("https://example.com")
img.save("example.png")

Customized QR Code

from turtle import fillcolor
import qrcode
from PIL import Image

qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=1,
    error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_H,
    box_size=10,
    border=4
)
qr.add_data("https://example.com")
qr.make(fit=True)

img = qr.make_image(fill_color="yellow", back_color="green")
img.save("custom_example.png")
