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

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:
- qrcode_sample2.PNG (8.62 KiB) Viewed 3959 times
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.
Low:
High:
And even though this does not give you the style you want, this can be integrated in Switch

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.
See this pdf:

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.

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?
