Bridge Print and Digital with the World’s Most Recognisable Barcode
There is no 2D symbology more universally understood than the QR code. Every smartphone on the planet can scan one, every operating system reads them natively, and every customer on the street already knows what to do when they see that distinctive square pattern. This app generates QR codes (RGB) for any Switch flow — for product packaging, marketing campaigns, vCards, payment links, ticket stubs and anything else where print needs to talk to a phone.
Here’s why you need QR Codes:
- Universal Mobile Recognition
Every modern smartphone — iOS, Android, Huawei, KaiOS — scans QR codes natively from the camera app. No special scanner, no third-party app, no friction. Print a QR on a poster, a beer mat, a business card or a parcel label, and your audience is one tap away from the content you want them to see.
- Anything Goes as Payload
URLs, plain text, vCards, calendar events, Wi-Fi credentials, SEPA payment instructions — if it’s text, a QR can carry it. This app takes whatever string you hand it and encodes it faithfully, so you can drive any kind of digital experience from any kind of printed surface.
- Four Levels of Error Correction
QR codes recover from physical damage thanks to built-in Reed–Solomon error correction. Choose level L (7%) for clean digital displays, level M (15%) for everyday print, level Q (25%) for product packaging that may scuff in transit, or level H (30%) for industrial labels exposed to the worst real-world conditions. The right level keeps your code readable even when life happens to it.
- Layout-Aware Output
Need a rotated QR for a side panel? A custom quiet zone width because your layout is already padded? A transparent background so the code sits on a coloured area without clashing? All configurable. The SVG carries explicit width and height in your chosen unit — mm, cm or in — so InDesign, Illustrator and print RIPs render it at the exact size you specified.
- Sharp at Any Resolution
The output is a true vector SVG with crisp-edge rendering. Scale a single generated file from a 12 mm address-label corner up to a billboard-sized format without any loss of definition. One file, infinite sizes, zero rasterization headaches.
- Seamless Workflow Integration
The app replaces the original file with the generated SVG (RGB) and passes it seamlessly to the next step. Drop the app in front of your label, ticket or packaging routine and the rest of your flow just works.
We got you covered:
This app generates QR codes as SVG files using the qrcode npm package. The output is a vector SVG with explicit width and height in the requested physical unit (mm, cm or in), so InDesign, Illustrator and print RIPs render the barcode at its exact specified size without further scaling. Quiet zone width, error correction level, rotation and background colour are all configurable as flow element parameters.
