We are here with a project for QR code generator using Python. So, follow us to build this Python project.<\/p>\n<h3>About QR Code Generator Project<\/h3>\n<p>QR Code is a machine-readable matrix barcode that uniquely represents information. With the increase in optical capabilities of smartphones, the use of QR codes started increasing.<\/p>\n<p>In this project, we will build a QR Code generator using Python Modules.<\/p>\n<h3>Generate QR Code in Python<\/h3>\n<p>We will be using Tkinter and Qrcode modules in Python to build this project. We use the Tkinter module to build the GUI to take the following inputs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>text\/URL to convert to QR Code<\/li>\n<li>location to save the QR code with name<\/li>\n<li>size of the QR code.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Then we generate the QR code from the above inputs and save in the given location using the qrcode module.<\/p>\n<h3>Download the Source Code for QR Code Generator in Python<\/h3>\n<p>Please download the source code for the QR code generator in Python using the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1F1x9_Erm6y42nWULV8jI5n4L7qs4KpTw\/view?usp=drive_link\"><strong>Python QR Code Generator Project<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Project Prerequisites<\/h3>\n<p>It is suggested that the developer has prior knowledge on Python and the Tkinter module. Also, use the below commands to install the qrcode and tkinter modules.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pip install tkinter<\/pre>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">pip install qrcode<\/pre>\n<h3>Steps to build the QR Code Generator in Python<\/h3>\n<p>To build the QR code generator project using Python we need to follow the below steps:<br \/>\n1. Importing the modules<br \/>\n2. Creating the main window<br \/>\n3. Taking the input of the text\/URL, location to store the QR code, name of the QR code and the size of the QR code<br \/>\n4. Writing the function to generate and save the QR Code<\/p>\n<h4>1. Importing the modules<\/h4>\n<p>The first step is to import the qrcode and the tkinter module. We use the messagebox in the tkinter module to show the pop up messages.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">import qrcode\r\nfrom tkinter import *\r\nfrom tkinter import messagebox<\/pre>\n<h4>2. Creating the main window<\/h4>\n<p>Next, we create the main window with title, size and color.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">#Creating the window\r\nwn = Tk()\r\nwn.title('DataFlair QR Code Generator')\r\nwn.geometry('700x700')\r\nwn.config(bg='SteelBlue3')<\/pre>\n<h4>3. Taking the inputs<\/h4>\n<p>Now, we take the inputs from the user to create the QR Code. We take the following inputs:<\/p>\n<p>1. Text\/URL as Entry() named as \u2018text\u2019<\/p>\n<p>2. Location to save the QR Code as Entry() named as \u2018loc\u2019<\/p>\n<p>3. Name of the QR Code image when saved in the device as Entry() named as \u2018name\u2019<\/p>\n<p>4. Size of the QR Code to be generated as Entry() named \u2018size\u2019. In this the user has to give the size in the range 1-40. 1 being the smallest size of 21&#215;21.<\/p>\n<p>Then we create a button when clicked generates the QR Code and saves it by executing the generateCode() function.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">#Label for the window\r\nheadingFrame = Frame(wn,bg=\"azure\",bd=5)\r\nheadingFrame.place(relx=0.15,rely=0.05,relwidth=0.7,relheight=0.1)\r\nheadingLabel = Label(headingFrame, text=\"Generate QR Code with DataFlair\", bg='azure', font=('Times',20,'bold'))\r\nheadingLabel.place(relx=0,rely=0, relwidth=1, relheight=1)\r\n\r\n#Taking the input of the text or URL to get QR code\r\nFrame1 = Frame(wn,bg=\"SteelBlue3\")\r\nFrame1.place(relx=0.1,rely=0.15,relwidth=0.7,relheight=0.3)\r\n\r\nlabel1 = Label(Frame1,text=\"Enter the text\/URL: \",bg=\"SteelBlue3\",fg='azure',font=('Courier',13,'bold'))\r\nlabel1.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.2, relheight=0.08)\r\n\r\ntext = Entry(Frame1,font=('Century 12'))\r\ntext.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.4, relwidth=1, relheight=0.2)\r\n\r\n#Getting input of the location to save QR Code\r\nFrame2 = Frame(wn,bg=\"SteelBlue3\")\r\nFrame2.place(relx=0.1,rely=0.35,relwidth=0.7,relheight=0.3)\r\n\r\nlabel2 = Label(Frame2,text=\"Enter the location to save the QR Code: \",bg=\"SteelBlue3\",fg='azure',font=('Courier',13,'bold'))\r\nlabel2.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.2, relheight=0.08)\r\n\r\nloc = Entry(Frame2,font=('Century 12'))\r\nloc.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.4, relwidth=1, relheight=0.2)\r\n\r\n#Getting input of the QR Code image name\r\nFrame3 = Frame(wn,bg=\"SteelBlue3\")\r\nFrame3.place(relx=0.1,rely=0.55,relwidth=0.7,relheight=0.3)\r\n\r\nlabel3 = Label(Frame3,text=\"Enter the name of the QR Code: \",bg=\"SteelBlue3\",fg='azure',font=('Courier',13,'bold'))\r\nlabel3.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.2, relheight=0.08)\r\n\r\nname = Entry(Frame3,font=('Century 12'))\r\nname.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.4, relwidth=1, relheight=0.2)\r\n\r\n#Getting the input of the size of the QR Code\r\nFrame4 = Frame(wn,bg=\"SteelBlue3\")\r\nFrame4.place(relx=0.1,rely=0.75,relwidth=0.7,relheight=0.2)\r\n\r\nlabel4 = Label(Frame4,text=\"Enter the size from 1 to 40 with 1 being 21x21: \",bg=\"SteelBlue3\",fg='azure',font=('Courier',13,'bold'))\r\nlabel4.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.2, relheight=0.08)\r\n\r\nsize = Entry(Frame4,font=('Century 12'))\r\nsize.place(relx=0.05,rely=0.4, relwidth=0.5, relheight=0.2)\r\n\r\n#Button to generate and save the QR Code\r\nbutton = Button(wn, text='Generate Code',font=('Courier',15,'normal'),command=generateCode)\r\nbutton.place(relx=0.35,rely=0.9, relwidth=0.25, relheight=0.05)\r\n\r\n#Runs the window till it is closed manually\r\nwn.mainloop()<\/pre>\n<h4>4. Creating the function to generate QR code and save it<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, we create the function to generate the code that runs on clicking the button. In this,<\/p>\n<p>1. First we create the QRCode object with the version\/size that user gave as input in the size() entry<\/p>\n<p>2. Then we add the text that we need to encode by getting from the entry \u2018text\u2019<\/p>\n<p>3. Then we get the QR code and save it in the directory that user gave as input<\/p>\n<p>4. After this, we show the pop up message to confirm the user that the image is saved<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"generic\">#Function to generate the QR code and save it\r\ndef generateCode():\r\n  #Creating a QRCode object of the size specified by the user\r\n  qr = qrcode.QRCode(version = size.get(),\r\n            box_size = 10,\r\n            border = 5)\r\n  qr.add_data(text.get()) #Adding the data to be encoded to the QRCode object\r\n  qr.make(fit = True) #Making the entire QR Code space utilized\r\n  img = qr.make_image() #Generating the QR Code\r\n  fileDirec=loc.get()+'\\\\'+name.get() #Getting the directory where the file has to be save\r\n  img.save(f'{fileDirec}.png') #Saving the QR Code\r\n  #Showing the pop up message on saving the file\r\n  messagebox.showinfo(\"DataFlair QR Code Generator\",\"QR Code is saved successfully!\")<\/pre>\n<h3>Output of the QR Code Generator in Python<\/h3>\n<p>Image of the GUI to take inputs from the user for generating QR Code<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/python-qr-code-generator-output.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-108002\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/02\/python-qr-code-generator-output.webp\" alt=\"python qr code generator output\" width=\"872\" height=\"913\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Summary<\/h3>\n<p>Hurray!
