QR code art generator.

The dots that carry the code take their colour from the artwork underneath, so a warm painting stays warm instead of turning flat black and white.

Wherever the artwork is already the right shade, no dot is added at all. Whole passages of the image come through untouched, which is why people see art first and a code second.

Every code is read back before you get it. If your picture cannot be made to work, the tool tells you — rather than handing you something that fails once it is printed.

Deep blues, blacks and heavy shadow read as near-black to a camera, which leaves the code nowhere to sit. Lighter artwork gives it room.

Fine texture competes with the code at exactly the size that matters. Poster-like art — strong shapes, clear contrast — survives the treatment best.

A code is square, so crop to the part of the picture you want inside it. You can also mark a face, a signature or a logo to keep clear.

Put your shop, your portfolio or your commission form on the back of a print, and let the code look like your work rather than an afterthought stuck on at the end.

Hang tags, packaging inserts, thank-you cards, business cards, stickers — a code that carries your branding instead of interrupting it.

Send people to a playlist, a menu, a mailing list or a ticket page, with something on the wall that is worth looking at first.

Yes. Previewing is unlimited and needs no account, so you can see exactly how your picture looks as a code before you decide anything. A free account then turns a preview into a real code carrying your own link — five new codes a month, commercial use included. Re-making a code you already have does not count against that. Pro removes the limit.

They do a different job: a prompt generator invents a picture and bends a code into it, so your own artwork is never involved and two runs give two different pictures. This tool makes the picture you upload carry the data. The alternatives, compared — including when another tool is the better choice.

Yes, on a published Interart design. Because an art code keeps the picture's own detail, it has the texture image tracking needs, so the printed code can be both the doorway and the tracked marker — one sheet, both jobs. It is a switch on the design: the art code can be the tracking target, or the plain artwork stays the target and the code is only the link. Read the full answer.

Before you download it, the tool reads the finished code back and only shows the Scannable badge if it comes through cleanly. If your picture cannot be made to work, it tells you instead of handing you a code that fails. No generator can promise a scan on every phone in every light, so try the printed piece with your own camera before you order a run.

To a page that tells you it was a preview. A preview cannot carry your link yet, so it carries that page instead — scanning it shows you the code reads, without pretending to be finished. The real code, made once you have a free account, carries a permanent interart.ai/q/… link that forwards to your address.

The dots that carry the code sit on your artwork and take their colour from it, so your palette stays yours instead of going flat black and white. Wherever the picture is already the right shade, no dot is added at all — which is why it still reads as a picture rather than a grid.

Yes. The built-in editor lets you crop and rotate the artwork to the square you want, and mark areas — a face, a signature, a logo — that should stay clear. The rest of the picture carries the code.

Any length. Your code carries a short interart.ai/q/… link that forwards to whatever address you type, so a long shop or listing URL is no problem. That link is permanent, and it counts how many times your code has been scanned, so you can tell whether a print run is working.

Yes. Codes you generate from artwork you own the rights to are yours to print and sell — on prints, cards, posters, packaging or merchandise.

A QR code opens a link when a camera reads it. Image tracking recognises the artwork itself and plays video, 3D and sound locked to it while the camera moves. Interart does both: this tool makes the code, and the editor makes the artwork come alive when someone points a phone at it.
