• Optionally embed an image (logo) in the center of the QR code
• Save the QR code as a PNG file

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• qrcode
• Pillow

pip install qrcode[pil] Pillow

Usage

python generate_qrcode.py <url> [--logo <image_path>] [--output <output_file>]

• <url>: The URL to encode in the QR code (required)
• --logo <image_path>: Path to the image to embed in the center of the QR code (optional)
