Overview
QR Generator lets you create, manage, and host QR codes directly in Drupal. It supports both online QR codes (managed redirects with optional expiration) and offline, self-contained QR codes that embed the target data directly and work without an internet connection.
Features
- Multiple export formats: PNG, SVG, and PDF.
- Branding with logos: embed an uploaded image or external URL into the center of the code.
- Custom labels: add descriptive text (e.g., "Scan Me") below the code.
- Color customization: full Hex control over foreground and background colors.
- Error correction levels: Low, Medium, Quartile, High — automatically raised to High when a logo is used.
- Optional expiration dates for online QR codes.
- Per-entity export form at
/admin/qr-code/export/{entityId}.
How online QR codes work
Scan QR code → lands on your Drupal site (/api/qr-code/{uuid}) → automatic redirect → destination page.
Which version should I use?
Quick answer: use 2.0.x for new sites on Drupal 10.3+ or 11.x. Use 1.0.x only if your site runs an older, unsupported Drupal release.
| 1.0.x | 2.0.x (recommended) | |
|---|---|---|
| Drupal Core | ^10 || ^11 (10.0 → 11.x) | ^10.3 || ^11 |
| PHP | 8.1 or higher | 8.3 or higher (tested on PHP 8.4) |
| Architecture | Procedural hooks, entity annotations | OOP hook implementations (#[Hook]), attribute-based entity definitions |
| Best for | Sites on EOL Drupal 10.0 / 10.1 / 10.2 | New installations and modern Drupal sites |
