Text to QR Code Generator Python API

We will use the Aspose.BarCode for Python API to generate QR codes from text. It allows generating and reading barcodes and QR codes in Python. The API supports over 60 barcode symbols, such as QR code, Code 128, Code 39, EAN, UPC, and many more. It allows developers to easily save the generated barcode or QR code in various image formats, such as PNG, JPEG, and TIFF.

Please download the package or install the API from PyPI using the following pip command in the console:

pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-net

Text to QR Code in Python

We can generate a QR code from text with Aspose.BarCode for Python by following the steps below:

  1. Create an instance of the BarcodeGenerator class.
  2. Set the EncodeTypes as “QR”.
  3. Specify the input text to encode.
  4. Optionally, specify QR code customization options.
  5. Finally, call the save() method to save the generated QR code image at the given file path.

The following code sample shows how to create a QR code using Python.
