📦 Python QR Code Generator

This Python-based project allows you to generate both simple and advanced customizable QR codes using the qrcode and PIL libraries. With just a few lines of code, you can encode URLs or text into a scannable image. Customize the colors, box size, and border to suit your needs.

✅ Features

1. Generate QR codes from URLs or text using Python.
2. Two versions included:
   • Simple QR Code Generator (minimal code)
   • Advanced Custom QR Code Generator with full control over:
     • Pattern and background color
     • Border size
     • Box size
3. Resulting QR codes are compatible with most standard scanner apps.
4. Easy to customize with just a few code changes.

🧠 How It Works

▶️ Simple QR Code Generator

This version uses only the qrcode library and generates a basic black-and-white QR code with default settings.

How It Works:

• Import the qrcode library.
• Add the data (URL or text).
• Save the image with a desired filename.

import qrcode as qr
image = qr.make("https://github.com/RabbanAli1122")
image.save("python.png")

🎨 Advanced QR Code Customization

This version uses both the qrcode and PIL libraries to allow for more control over QR code styling.

import qrcode
from PIL import Image

qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=6,
    box_size=10,
    border=10
)
qr.add_data("https://github.com/RabbanAli1122")
qr.make(fit=True)

img = qr.make_image(fill_color="white", back_color="black")
img.save("python_20_projects.png")

🔹 Key Customizations:

• version: QR complexity (higher means more data).
• box_size: Size of each square box.
• border: Width of border (in boxes).
• fill_color & back_color: Customize foreground/background color.

🧰 Requirements

Make sure you have Python installed, then install the required libraries:

pip install qrcode
pip install pillow

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/RabbanAli1122/Python-QR-Code-Generator.git
cd Python-QR-Code-Generator

2. Run the desired Python file:

• python simple_qr.py # for basic version
• python custom_qr.py # for advanced version

🧠 Lessons Learned

• Learned how to use the qrcode library to generate QR codes.
• Discovered how to customize QR code design using the PIL library.
• Explored parameter control to modify QR code size, color, and structure.
