QR & Barcode Generator

A versatile desktop tool for generating and analyzing QR codes and various barcode formats.

About The Project

QR & Barcode Generator is a Python-based application that simplifies the creation and decoding of various 1D and 2D codes. Whether you need to generate a QR code for a URL, a product barcode for inventory, or analyze an existing code from an image, this tool provides a straightforward solution.

Built With

This project relies on a set of powerful open-source libraries:

• Python
• qrcode (for QR Code generation)
• python-barcode (for standard barcode generation)
• pyzbar (for code analysis and decoding)
• Pillow (for image processing)
• Colorama (for colored terminal output)

Features

• Generate QR Codes: Quickly create QR codes from any text or data.
• Generate Barcodes: Supports a wide variety of standard barcode formats, including EAN-13, Code128, and more.
• Analyze Codes: Decode QR codes and barcodes directly from image files to retrieve their embedded data.
• Save & Export: Save your generated codes as image files for use in other applications.
