This simple how-to provides details about how to create QR Code using Python. You can easily develop a QR Code generator in Python by using simple API calls that can be used in Windows, macOS or Linux based environments configured with Python3 and JDK. In the following example, we have focused on creating QR code type but the API provides extensive support for other Barcode types including GS1 Code, 128 Code and many others.
Steps to Create QR Code using Python
- Setup Python3 and Aspose.Barcode for Python by following the guidelines
- Instantiate the BarcodeGenerator object and set EncodeTypes.QR as the desired Barcode type
- Set the text code and output QR Code image resolution
- Set the output QR Code image type as PNG and its path
- By using Save method in Python generate QR Code image on disk
The above steps in Python generate QR Code with the help of simple API calls and following the steps mentioned. We will start the process by setting up the environment and then BarcodeGenerator class instance will be used to set the desired Barcode encoding type. In the following steps, we will set the QR code text and output image resolution. The default image resolution is 96 if not set but it can be customized. In the final step, Python QR generator will save code on the disk in PNG format.
Code to Develop QR Code Generator using Python
In Python QR Code generator has been developed using simple API calls that can efficiently produce a QR code image in PNG format. The API is capable of supporting many types Barcodes that can be used in different applications. You can also customize the QR Code output by setting different parameters like Codetext Parameters, Postal Parameters, DataMatrix Parameters, Codablock Parameters and many others.
In this example, we have developed an application using Python code to generate QR Code with no dependency on any third party tool. If you are interested in reading Barcode information, refer to the article on how to read Barcode using Python.
