Usage

Generate QR codes (Standard, Micro QR, rMQR)

// Standard QR code
var standardQr = QRCode.Create("DevWinUI", ErrorCorrectionLevel.High);

// Micro QR code (smaller, single finder pattern)
var microQr = QRCode.CreateMicroQR("12345", ErrorCorrectionLevel.Low);

// Rectangular Micro QR code (narrow rectangular shape)
var rmqr = QRCode.CreateRMQR("https://www.Github.com", ErrorCorrectionLevel.Medium);

// Format info
Console.WriteLine($"{standardQr.Type} {standardQr.Width}x{standardQr.Height}");
Console.WriteLine($"{microQr.Type} {microQr.Width}x{microQr.Height}");
Console.WriteLine($"{rmqr.Type} {rmqr.Width}x{rmqr.Height}");

Render as SVG

var svg = standardQr.ToSvg();
var microSvg = microQr.ToSvg(new QRCodeSvgOptions { ModuleSize = 2, QuietZoneModules = 2 });
var rmqrSvg = rmqr.ToSvg(new QRCodeSvgOptions { ModuleSize = 2, QuietZoneModules = 2 });

var customSvg = standardQr.ToSvg(new QRCodeSvgOptions
{
    ModuleSize = 10,
    QuietZoneModules = 4,
    DarkColor = "#000000",
    LightColor = "#ffffff",
});

Logo images are currently supported in the SVG renderer only.

Render as PNG

var png = standardQr.ToPng();
File.WriteAllBytes("qrcode.png", png);

using var stream = File.Create("micro-qrcode.png");
microQr.WriteToPng(stream, new QRCodePngOptions
{
    ModuleSize = 4,
    QuietZoneModules = 2,
});

Render to console

standardQr.WriteToConsole();
var standardText = standardQr.ToConsoleString();
var microText = microQr.ToConsoleString(new QRCodeConsoleOptions
{
    QuietZoneModules = 1,
    ModuleWidth = 2,
    ModuleHeight = 2, // 2x bigger output that can look more square on many terminals
});

var rmqrText = rmqr.ToConsoleString(new QRCodeConsoleOptions
{
    QuietZoneModules = 1,
    ModuleWidth = 2,
    ModuleHeight = 2,
});

Content helpers

// WiFi
var wifi = QRCodePayload.Wifi("MyNetwork", "password123", WifiAuthentication.WPA);

// vCard
var vcard = QRCodePayload.VCard("Doe", "John", phone: "+1234567890", email: "john@example.com");

// MeCard (compact contact format)
var mecard = QRCodePayload.MeCard("Doe", "John", phone: "+1234567890");

// Email
var email = QRCodePayload.Email("test@example.com", subject: "Hello");

// Phone
var phone = QRCodePayload.Phone("+1234567890");

// SMS
var sms = QRCodePayload.Sms("+1234567890", "Hello!");

// Geolocation
var geo = QRCodePayload.Geolocation(48.8566, 2.3522);

// Calendar event
var evt = QRCodePayload.CalendarEvent("Meeting",
    new DateTime(2025, 6, 15, 14, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
    new DateTime(2025, 6, 15, 15, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc),
    location: "Room 42");

// OTP Auth (2FA setup)
var otp = QRCodePayload.OneTimePassword(OneTimePasswordType.Totp,
    "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP", "user@example.com", issuer: "MyApp");

// Bitcoin payment
var btc = QRCodePayload.Bitcoin("1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa", amount: 0.05m);

// SEPA payment (EPC QR)
var sepa = QRCodePayload.SepaPayment("Example", "DE00000000000000000000", 12.50m,
    remittanceText: "Donation");
