Why has Adobe not seen it fit to include a QR code generator in Illustrator? Currently, getting QR code "images" into Illustrator is a pain in the a##. Adobe please wake up.

I fully agree !

Currently, for me, the steps are the following:

1. create the link in a UTM generator

2. open InDesign

3. create a new doc

4. paste the link in the QR code generator

5. copy the QR code

6. paste it in Illustator

7. group it

8. merge the QR Code eyes

9. remove the unnecessary anchor points

10. make round corners to the eyes

11. select all QR code items except the eyes

12. give them round corners

13. draw an ellipsis in the center

14. put a logo in the center

This takes AGES and I have to do it nearly once a day !!! If I could at least avoid the InDesign part, that would be GREAT help.

The Adobe Express one will not generate with custom colors. Best to just open InDesign and use the well-built QR code generator there. This will allow you to export an EPS to use in Illustrator. Why this isn't in Illustrator is a mystery to me.

Are these QR codes with expiration date or works without limitations of time?

The QR codes you can generate on that page can be downloaded as regular JPEG, PNG or SVG images. They'll work as long as the link in the QR code is valid.

If you also have InDesign, this feature is built-in! You can then copy/paste into Illustrator.

Hello,

I would LOVE to know how to do this. I have about 500 pages I need to make with a different QR code for each one. If there's a way to do this programmatically I'd love it. I use Illustrator currently, but if I can generate that file in the proper spot on the page in Indesign I'm happy to switch.

Thanks!

I found this thread while searching for something else. Thought I'd leave an updated solution - InDesign makes QR Codes. You can add them to your library from Indesign, and / or copy paste to Illustrator / Photoshop etc.

if you need universal QR code generator for Illustrator you can use a special script that generates qr code with Symbols and Layers
as you can see in this picture.
