Correct answer Doug A Roberts

Do you want to generate an actual QR code or just draw a representation of one?

InDesign has a built-in QR code generator. You could use that and copy it over.

Hi Valentina,

I would second Doug's suggestion of generating QR code in InDesign and then bring it to Illustrator. In addition to the comments above, I would request if you can share this feature request here: Adobe Illustrator Feedback. This is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases.

Regards,

Srishti

You can also use many free online QR code generators where you can produce it in many formats.

If you don't need a 'real' working QR code, take a look at the standards here:

QR code - Wikipedia

then take the rectangular grid tool in Illustrator, create a grid of the appropriate size with no stroke or fill, and then start filling it in with the live paint tool.
