Generating Static and Animated QR Codes with Python MyQR Library

1. Code Practice

1.1 Module Installation

Install the required library with the command:

pip install MyQR

1.2 Parameter Explanation

The main parameters of MyQR are:

words : content of the QR code

version : size of the QR code, range [1,40]

picture : background image file (.jpg, .png, .bmp, .gif); default is black‑white

colorized : background color flag, default False (black‑white)

save_name : output file name, default qrcode.png save_dir : directory to save the file, default is the current working directory

1.3 Code Practice

1.3.1 Static QR Code

Simple example to generate a QR code:

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
# @Time   : 2021-09-30
# @Author : carl_DJ

from MyQR import myqr

# Define QR code content
word = "Carl"

# Generate QR code
myqr.run(word)

Running the script creates qrcode.png in the current directory.

Resulting QR code image:

1.3.2 Adding a Background Image

Prepare a background picture and modify the code:

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
# @Time   : 2021-09-30
# @Author : carl_DJ

from MyQR import myqr

word = "Carl"

myqr.run(
    word,
    picture='./wf.png',
    colorized=True,
    version=6
)

The generated QR code now includes the specified background image.

1.3.3 Animated QR Code

To create an animated QR code, simply replace the background image with a .gif file:

# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-
# @Time   : 2021-09-30
# @Author : carl_DJ

from MyQR import myqr

word = "miss U "

myqr.run(
    word,
    picture='./sohucs.gif',
    colorized=True,
    version=6
)

The output is an animated QR code that cycles through the frames of the provided GIF.

In summary, generating both static and animated QR codes with MyQR only requires adjusting the picture parameter (using .png for static and .gif for animated) while keeping other arguments unchanged.
