Create a QR Code from a Photo

Here we provide a reference image of the Sheikh Zayed Grand mosque & a matching image generation prompt (plus a URL of course), to create a QR code that closely mirrors the reference image. This technique of having a reference image + matching prompt works well to create scannable and beautiful QR Code.

👩‍💻 Prompt

Describe the subject/scene of the QR Code.
Choose clear prompts and distinguishable visuals to ensure optimal readability.

Enter your URL/Text below.

🔗 Shorten URL

A shortened URL enables the QR code to be more beautiful and less "QR-codey" with fewer blocky pixels.

⚙️ Settings

Customize the QR Code output for your text prompt with these Settings.

🎛️ Control Net

Control Net models provide a layer of refinement to the image generation process that blends with the QR code. Choose your preferred models:

Tiling

Brightness

⚖️ Conditioning Scales

At 0 the prompted visual will be intact and the QR code will be more artistic but less readable.

At 2 the control settings that blend the QR code will be applied tightly, possibly overriding the image prompt, but the QR code will be more readable.

Brightness: Dictates how light the background of the QR Code will be. Contrast is desirable for readability.

Tiling: Preserves more details of the QR Code, makes it more readable.

🧽 Negative Prompt

This allows you to specify what you DON'T want to see in your output.
Useful negative prompts can be found here.

Image generation engines can often generate disproportionate body parts, extra limbs or fingers, strange textures etc. Use negative prompting to avoid disfiguration or for creative outputs like avoiding certain colour schemes, elements or styles.

Number of Outputs

Change the number of outputs for a single run here:

By default, each run produces one output per Model.

Quality

How precise, or focused do you want your output to be?

An increase in output quality is comparable to a gradual progression in any drawing process that begins with a draft version and ends with a finished product.

🎨️ Artistic Pressure

(Text Guidance Scale)
How pressurized should the AI feel to produce what you want?
How much creative freedom do you want the AI to have when interpreting your prompt?

At lower values the image will effectively be random. The standard value is between 6-8. Values that are too high can also distort the image.

Scheduler

Schedulers or Samplers are algorithms that allow us to set an iterative process on your run. They are used across models to find the preferred balance between the generation speed and output quality.

We recommend using our default settings. Learn more, here.

ℹ️ Details

Create interactive and engaging QR codes with stunning visuals that are amazing for marketing, branding, and more. Combining AI Art and QR Code has never been easier!
Enter your URL and image prompt, and in just 30 seconds, we'll generate an artistic QR codes tailored to your style.
It is made possible by the open source Control Net.

Prompting 101:

Step 1: Create an idea or visualization in your mind.

I want an image of an astronaut in a space suit walking on the streets of Mumbai.

Step 2: Think about your descriptors and break it down as follows:

What is the Medium of this image?
eg. It is a painting, a sculpture, an old photograph, portrait, 3D render, etc.
What/Who are the Subject(s) or Main Object(s) in the image?
eg. A human, an animal, an identity like gender, race, or occupation like dancer, astronaut etc.
What is the Style?
eg. Is it Analogue photography, a watercolor, a line drawing, digital painting etc.
What are the Details?
eg. facial features or expressions, the space and landscape, lighting or the colours etc.

Step 3: Construct your prompt:

An analogue film still of an astronaut in a space suit walking on the busy streets of Mumbai, golden light on the astronaut, 4k
example

You can keep editing your prompt until you have your desired output. Consider AI generators as a collaborative tool.

What is the difference between Submit and Regenerate?

Each AI generation has a unique Seed number. A random seed is created when you initiate the first run on clicking the Submit button. The seed is maintained as you continue editing the image with different setting options on each subsequent Submit click.

However, by clicking the Regenerate button, the AI will generate a new Seed and a completely new/different set of outputs.

👣 Steps

Shorten the URL

For more aesthetic and reliable QR codes with fewer black squares, we automatically shorten the URL: https://gooey.ai/2/dz9Z

Generate clean QR code

Having consistent padding, formatting, and using high error correction in the QR Code encoding makes the QR code more readable and robust to damage and thus yields more reliable results with the model.

Run quality control

We programatically scan the QR Codes to make sure they are readable. Once a working one is found, it becomes the output.

Here is the final output:
