Description of the Project

​ A QR code (Quick Response code) is a type of two-dimensional barcode that

stores information, such as text, URLs, or other data, in a grid od black and white
squares. QR code can be scanned using a smartphone or a QR code reader, allowing
users to quickly access the stored information. They are commonly used for various
purposes, including marketing, product tracking, payment system and information
sharing, due to their ability to store large amounts of data in a small space and their
ease to use.

QR Code Generator a desktop application that enables users to generate and

save QR codes from custom text inputs through a simple graphical interface. Built with
tkinter, the tool offers a lightweight and responsive GUI for creating codes in real time.

Core Functionalities

●​ Accepts user input for date to encode.

●​ Generates a QR code using the qrcode library.
●​ Displays the QR code image dynamically within the interface.
●​ Allows saving the QR code as a PNG file with a custom filename.
Required Libraries to be Installed

●​ qrcode[pil] - QR Code Generation with Image Support

-​ [pil] means it installs the Pillow library, which is used to create and
manipulate images.
●​ tkinter - Graphical User Interface (GUI) toolkit, Python’s built-in library for creating
GUI applications.
-​ It allows you to build windows, buttons, labels, text inputs, and display
images.

To Install Required Libraries

To install the required libraries, write the following in the Python Terminal:

pip install qrcode[pil] tkinter
