# QR Code Generator
This is a simple Python program for generating QR codes using the `qrcode` library. Users can customize the size, padding, and colors of the QR code and save it as an image file.
## Features
- Accepts user input to encode in the QR code.
- Allows customization of QR code size, padding, and colors.
- Saves the QR code image in PNG format.
- Provides default configurations for ease of use.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.x installed.
- `qrcode` library installed.
- `Pillow` library installed.
### Install Required Library
```bash
pip install qrcode Pillow
```
## Usage
1. Clone this repository or download the script.
2. Run the script using the following command:
```bash
python main.py
```
3. Enter the text you want to encode in the QR code when prompted.
4. The QR code image will be saved as `sample.png` in the same directory.
## Configuration
You can modify the following default settings in the code:
- **Size**: Controls the size of each box in the QR code grid. Default is `30`.
- **Padding**: Sets the border thickness around the QR code. Default is `2`.
- **Foreground Color**: The color of the QR code itself. Default is `#000` (black).
- **Background Color**: The color of the QR code background. Default is `#FFF` (white).
Example to change default configurations:
```python
DEFAULT_SIZE = 40
DEFAULT_PADDING = 4
DEFAULT_FG_COLOR = '#FF0000' # Red
DEFAULT_BG_COLOR = '#00FF00' # Green
```
## Error Handling
The program includes error handling for common issues such as:
- Invalid input data.
- File I/O errors when saving the QR code image.
## Example Output
After running the script, a sample QR code image will be created in the directory with the name `sample.png`.
