QR Code Generator

Simple Python CLI tool to generate a QR code image from a URL or any text string.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• qrcode package (with Pillow support)

Install dependency:

pip install "qrcode[pil]"

Usage

Run the script with:

python url_gen.py <url_or_text> <output_filename>

Example:

python url_gen.py "https://example.com" "example-qr.png"

Output

• Files are always saved in the .output/ directory.
• The script uses only the file name part of output_filename.
• If .output/ does not exist, it is created automatically.

After generation, the script prints the saved path, for example:

QR code saved to .output/example-qr.png

Notes

• Input can be a URL or plain text.
• Current QR generation settings in url_gen.py:
  • version=1
  • error_correction=ERROR_CORRECT_L
  • box_size=20
  • border=2
