generate_qrcodes

Small utility to generate SVG and PNG QR codes from a set of URLs.

This repository contains a tiny Python script that uses segno to create vector (SVG) and raster (PNG) QR codes and writes them into the qrcodes/ directory inside the project.

Contents

• generate_qrcodes.py — main script. Edit the URLS mapping to change which QR codes are produced.
• requirements.txt — runtime dependencies for the project.
• LICENSE — license for this repository.
• qrcodes/ — output folder where SVG and PNG files are written.

Quickstart

1. Create a virtual environment (recommended) and install dependencies:

.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Edit generate_qrcodes.py and update the URLS dictionary with the keys (used as filenames) and values (the target URLs).

3. Run the script from the project root:

python generate_qrcodes.py

4. Deactivate venv

deactivate

5. Find generated files in the qrcodes/ folder. Each entry produces both an SVG and a PNG file.

Configuration

• SCALE — controls the size of the generated PNG files (pixel multiplier).
• BORDER — quiet zone for the QR code (number of modules).

Open generate_qrcodes.py for more details and to adjust parameters.

Dependencies

Dependencies are listed in requirements.txt. The script uses:

• segno — QR code generator (pure Python)
• Pillow — used by segno to write PNG files

Install them with pip install -r requirements.txt (see Quickstart above).
