description: Generate QR codes locally without external APIs using native CLI and runtime libraries in Bash and Node.js.

Generate QR Code Natively

Create QR codes fully offline on the local machine (no third-party QR API calls).

When to use

  • •User asks to generate a QR code from text, URL, wallet address, or payload
  • •Privacy-sensitive workflows where data should stay local
  • •Fast automation pipelines that should not depend on external services

Required tools / APIs

  • •No external API required
  • •Bash CLI option: qrencode
  • •Node.js option: qrcode package

Install options:

bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y qrencode

# Node.js
npm install qrcode

Skills

generate_qr_with_bash

Generate PNG and terminal QR directly from shell.

bash
# Encode text into PNG
DATA="https://example.com/report?id=123"
qrencode -o qrcode.png -s 8 -m 2 "$DATA"

# Print QR in terminal (UTF-8 block mode)
qrencode -t UTF8 "$DATA"

# SVG output
qrencode -t SVG -o qrcode.svg "$DATA"

generate_qr_with_nodejs

javascript
import QRCode from 'qrcode';

const data = process.argv[2] || 'https://example.com';

async function main() {
  await QRCode.toFile('qrcode.png', data, {
    errorCorrectionLevel: 'M',
    margin: 2,
    width: 512
  });

  const svg = await QRCode.toString(data, { type: 'svg', margin: 2 });
  await import('node:fs/promises').then(fs => fs.writeFile('qrcode.svg', svg));

  const terminal = await QRCode.toString(data, { type: 'terminal' });
  console.log(terminal);
  console.log('Saved: qrcode.png, qrcode.svg');
}

main().catch(err => {
  console.error('QR generation failed:', err.message);
  process.exit(1);
});

Run:

bash
node generate-qr.js "https://example.com/invoice/abc"

Agent prompt

text
You are generating QR codes locally without calling external QR APIs.
Use Bash (qrencode) for quick CLI generation or Node.js (qrcode package) for programmatic control.
Return:
1) command/code used,
2) output filenames (png/svg),
3) brief validation note (e.g., "scan test recommended").
If dependency is missing, provide the install command and retry.

Best practices

  • •Keep payload concise for better scan reliability
  • •Use at least error correction level M for general use
  • •Export PNG for compatibility and SVG for scalable print/web usage
  • •Validate with a scanner after generation

Troubleshooting

  • •qrencode: command not found → install qrencode via package manager
  • •Node import error → ensure npm install qrcode completed
  • •Dense/unclear QR image → increase image size/box size and reduce payload length
