Description

Allow users to upload a small logo or image to embed in the center of QR codes.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Image upload functionality
  • Image resizing and optimization
  • Ensure QR code remains scannable
  • Support PNG, JPG, SVG formats
  • Preview with embedded logo

Implementation Hints:

  • Use PIL (Python) for image processing
  • Implement file upload in frontend
  • Validate image dimensions and file size
  • Test QR code scannability with embedded images

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing QR code generation code. Implement a file upload endpoint in the backend (likely Python) to accept an image, use PIL to resize and optimize it, then embed it in the center of the QR code. Ensure the QR code remains scannable by testing.
