Generate QR code images from text or URLs, or decode existing QR codes from images — batch-process any number of items in one API call.
What you get
- Generate mode: turn any list of strings (URLs, text, Wi-Fi credentials, vCards, anything) into QR code PNGs, returned as data URIs ready to embed or download
- Read mode: decode the text encoded in any QR code image, from a URL or a data URI
- Configurable size and error-correction level for generated codes
- Batch processing — hundreds of codes per run, one dataset row per item
Use cases
- Generate QR codes for print materials, packaging, or event badges in bulk
- Add a QR code to a document-generation pipeline (invoices, tickets, menus)
- Decode QR codes scraped from product images or uploaded photos
- Validate that a generated QR code actually decodes back to the intended text
