PNG, SVG, or base64 output. 10 QR codes free per run. - **URL**: https://apify.com/accurate\_pouch/qr-code-toolkit.md - **Developed by:** [Manchitt Sanan](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 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 ```json { "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: ```json { "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. *** ### Related Tools by manchittlab - **[Image Processor](https://apify.com/accurate_pouch/image-processor)** — Batch resize, convert to WebP/AVIF, compress, watermark.
