# **QR Generator**
This script allows you to generate QR codes from text or URLs, with the ability to:
✅ Customize the size and color of the QR code.
✅ Save the generated QR code as an image file.
✅ Generate QR codes from input provided directly in the console.
Example of the result
## **Installation**
- Download the [`QR_Generator.exe`](QR_Generator.exe) file.
- Double-click `QR_Generator.exe` to start.
## **Usage**
Once you run the `QR_Generator.exe`, the following options will be available in the console
## **How the Script Work**
📦 Requirements to Run in Python
To run this script using Python, you need the following:
### **1️⃣ Install Python and pip**
- **Python**
- Download it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
- Or install it directly from the **Microsoft Store** (search for "Python" in the Store)
- **pip** (Comes pre-installed with Python, but you can update it with:
```sh
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
```
### **2️⃣ Install Required Libraries**
If you're running the script as a `.py`, install the following dependencies:
```sh
pip install qrcode[pil]
```
- **qrcode** → Library to generate the QR codes.
- **Pillow** → Library for image manipulation (installed automatically with qrcode[pil]).
🔍 How the Script Works (Detailed Explanation)
The script is designed to generate QR codes based on input text or URLs. Here's a breakdown of how the main parts of the code work:
### **1. Importing Libraries**
```python
import qrcode
from PIL import Image
```
- The **qrcode** library is used to generate QR codes.
- The **Pillow** library is used to save and manipulate the resulting image.
### **2. QR Code Generation Function**
```python
def generate_qr_code(data, size=10, color="black"):
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
version=1,
error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L,
box_size=size,
border=4,
)
qr.add_data(data)
qr.make(fit=True)
img = qr.make_image(fill=color, back_color="white")
return img
```
- Takes data (text or URL), size, and color as input.
- Generates the QR code and returns it as an image.
### **3. Saving the Generated QR Code**
```python
def save_qr_code(img, filename="qrcode.png"):
img.save(filename)
print(f"QR Code saved as {filename}")
```
- Saves the generated QR code image to a file.
### **4. Main Execution**
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
text = input("Enter the text or URL for the QR code: ")
size = int(input("Enter the size of the QR code (default 10): ") or 10)
color = input("Enter the color of the QR code (default black): ") or "black"
qr_img = generate_qr_code(text, size, color)
save_qr_code(qr_img)
```
- Prompts the user for input (text, size, color).
- Calls the function to generate and save the QR code.
