Batch-generate QR codes for links

To batch-generate QR codes for a list of links, here’s a step-by-step method you can use with Python:

Step 1: Prepare Your List of Links

Create a text or CSV file (links.txt or links.csv) with one URL per line.

Example (links.txt):

arduino
https://example.com/page1 https://example.com/page2 https://example.com/page3

Step 2: Use Python to Generate QR Codes

python
import qrcode import os # Create a folder for the QR codes output_folder = 'qr_codes' os.makedirs(output_folder, exist_ok=True) # Read links from a file with open('links.txt', 'r') as file: links = [line.strip() for line in file if line.strip()] # Generate and save QR codes for index, url in enumerate(links, start=1): img = qrcode.make(url) img_path = os.path.join(output_folder, f'qr_code_{index}.png') img.save(img_path) print(f"Generated {len(links)} QR codes in the '{output_folder}' folder.")

Notes:

  • You can customize filenames based on the URL content instead of using an index.

  • To use this, you need the qrcode Python library:

    bash
    pip install qrcode[pil]

Let me know if you want a version that also embeds logos, custom colors, or different formats like SVG.
