Using IronQR

Installing the IronQR NuGet package is quick and easy, please install the package like this:

PM> Install-Package IronQR

Once installed, you can get started by adding using IronQr; to the top of your C# code. Here is is sample and advanced QR examples to get started:

using IronQr;
using IronSoftware.Drawing;

// Create QR Code
QrCode myQr = QrWriter.Write("hello world"); // Embedded value as string
AnyBitmap qrBitmap = myQr.Save(); // Bitmap object able to export as bytes or file
qrBitmap.SaveAs("qr.png"); // Save to disk

// Read QR Code
var qrReader = new QrReader(settings: optionalQrReaderSettings); // Create reader
IEnumerable<QrResult> results = qrReader.Read(new QrImageInput("image.jpg")); // Reader calls ML Model to detect and read
IEnumerable<QrResult> asyncResults = await qrReader.ReadAsync(new QrImageInput("image.jpg")); // Async version

// Advanced QR Creation
var optionalOptions = new QrOptions(QrErrorCorrectionLevel.High, 20); // Advanced QR Generation Options

QrCode myQr = QrWriter.Write("hello world", options: optionalOptions); // QR code created with options

var fancyBrandedQrSettings = new QrStyleOptions // Add logo, branding, coloring, rouding, etc.
{
    Dimensions = 300, // px
    Margins = 10, // px
    Color = Color.Black,
    Logo = new QrLogo
    {
        Bitmap = new AnyBitmap(new Uri("website.com/image.svg")),
        Width = 50,
        Height = 50,
        CornerRadius = 2
    }
};
AnyBitmap qrWithBranding = myQr.Save(fancyBrandedQrSettings);
qrWithBranding.SaveAs("qr_fancy.png");

Features

Advanced QR Detection Model:

• Built-in Custom Machine Learning QR Detection Model that is improved monthly
