QR Code with logo

[b.schuring]

Does anyone know a way to make a QR Code with a custom text or logo in the middle?

Something like this:

There is a lot of web-pages for this: https://www.google.com/search?q=qr+code ... +with+logo
And a bit more fancy from this site: https://www.qrpicture.com
Or this you can run locally: https://github.com/x-hw/amazing-qr#amazing-qr

And you can create the barcode with the "Add barcode" Action in PitStop and place a logo on top of it.

@JimmyHartington Thanks! I know that there are site available but I want to generate them in Switch.

@freddyp If I do that the qrcode is not readable anymore. The result then is like this:

I think that the qrcode has to be generated around the logo box.

If you use a commandline tool, you can execute it in Switch.
And with the command qrencode (https://www.shellhacks.com/qr-code-gene ... nux-macos/), you can define the error correction level. And if set to HIGH you can cover more of the code and still scan it.

Below examples both contain "https://www.skabertrang.dk" but as you can see the High is more detailed.

High:


And even though this does not give you the style you want, this can be integrated in Switch https://github.com/x-hw/amazing-qr#amazing-qr

I just tried to create an eps-file with qrencode.
Convert to PDF and insert our own fav-icon manually in Pitstop at different sizes.
My phone can scan the the 4 from the top.

Or the other way around: the size of the logo has to be adapted to the size of the QR code. I have the impression the logo is a bit too large.

Thanks! Going to try this one!

I looked at the action for creating a QR code in Pitstop Pro.
And I could not find any option to set an error correction level.

@freddyp How do I submit this as a feature request for Pitstop Pro?
