Need help with adding qr codes to image

New Here ,
Dec 16, 2022 Dec 16, 2022

I need to set up a Photoshop action. What I have is a template background saved as a JPG. What I’m going to be sent is 60000 different QR codes, all as JPGs. I need to get each QR code placed on this same background, and export/save them off as 60000 different jpgs.

 

I don't have much knowledge about photoshop. Is it possible? If yes then can someone please guide me how? Thanks in advance

You'll want to look at data-driven graphics, although I would use ImageMagick myself rather than Photoshop for this.

A Batch Action, which could save to final file format in a single pass is an alternative to Image > Variables (aka - data driven graphics) which saves out a PSD which would then require another batch process to convert to the final format.

 

An alternative to a Batch Action is a Script to combine and save to the final file format.

 

There are many examples of both Batch Actions and Scripts for combining many images with a static background image in the forum.

 

I agree with @Lumigraphics that for 60K images Photoshop would not be the best choice, you would likely need to work in batches of 10K or less images and process, restart the computer and repeat.
