QR Code Toolkit — Bulk Generate with Custom Colors & Logos

Generate QR codes in bulk with custom dark/light colors, logo overlays, configurable error correction, and multiple output formats (PNG, SVG, base64). 10 QR codes.

Why this exists

Existing QR code actors on Apify only generate basic black-and-white codes. This actor adds:

• Custom colors — any dark/light hex color combination
• Logo overlay — place your brand logo in the center of the QR code (requires H error correction)
• SVG output — vector format, infinitely scalable
• Base64 output — embed directly in HTML/email without hosting
• Configurable error correction — L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30% — required for logos)
• Bulk generation — hundreds of codes in one run

Quick start

{
    "items": [
        {
            "mode": "generate",
            "generate": {
                "text": "https://example.com",
                "size": 400,
                "darkColor": "#1a1a2e",
                "lightColor": "#ffffff"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Generate options

Field	Type	Default	Description
text	string	(required)	Text, URL, or data to encode
size	integer	400	QR code width/height in pixels
errorCorrectionLevel	enum	M	L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%). Use H if adding a logo.
darkColor	string	#000000	Hex color for dark modules
lightColor	string	#ffffff	Hex color for light/background
format	enum	png	png, svg, or base64
logoUrl	string	(optional)	URL to a logo image. Overlaid in the center. Use error correction H.
logoScale	number	0.2	Logo size as fraction of QR code (0.1–0.3 recommended)
margin	integer	2	Quiet zone modules around the QR code

Output

Generated QR codes are stored in the Key-Value Store. Each item also produces a dataset entry:

{
    "mode": "generate",
    "text": "https://example.com",
    "outputKey": "qr-https___example_com.png",
    "outputFormat": "png",
    "outputSize": 1847,
    "status": "success",
    "error": null
}

For base64 format, the dataset entry includes a base64 field with the full data URL.

Pricing

$0.003 per QR code generated (pay-per-event pricing).

• Errors and dry runs are never charged.
• 100 QR codes = $0.30
• 1,000 QR codes = $3.00

---

Limitations

• QR decoding reads QR codes from image URLs. Pass mode: "decode" with decode: { imageUrl: "..." }. Returns the decoded text.
• Logo overlay increases file size and requires error correction level H for reliable scanning.
• SVG format does not support logo overlay — use PNG for logos.
• Maximum text length depends on error correction level. L supports more data, H supports less. Typical max: ~2,000 characters at level M.
