[New feature request] Add image into QR code.

[water5]

Can I add image into QR code like below?

You can just use PIL's method if the image factory is PilImage, which is the default factory. In that case, my_qrcode is Image type as well.

import qrcode
from PIL import Image

my_qrcode = qrcode.make("Some data here")

image = Image.open('image.jpg').resize((w, h))  # Resize before you paste!

my_qrcode.paste(image, (x, y))  # Set the coordinate
my_qrcode.save("my_qrcode.jpg")

You can also use the new styled PIL image factory and embed an image directly: https://github.com/lincolnloop/python-qrcode/blob/master/README.rst#styled-image

Why paste not appear in dir(my_code)?

I didn't understand the question. Can you elaborate? Maybe show the code you're trying.

1. Refer:
   [New feature request] Add image into QR code. #232 (comment)

import qrcode
qr = qrcode.make('embeded image test')

Why paste not appear in
dir(qr) ?

2. I try:

import qrcode
from qrcode.image.styledpil import StyledPilImage

qr = qrcode.QRCode(error_correction = qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L)
qr.add_data('embeded image test')
img = qr.make_image(image_factory = StyledPilImage, embeded_image_path = 'test_image.png')

The two ways above, the image just override origin qrcode pixel, not 'embeded', so it can't Recognition,

Why paste not appear in dir(qr)?

The qrcode object is actually the PilImage class, but it overrides __getattr__ magic method used to wrap the PIL image instance.

For overlay a transparent image, these methods should help. Please try to make the two pictures into the same mode via Image.convert, such as RGBA.

• Image.paste (mask option)
• Image.alpha_composite

Solved, reduce embed image size and set higher error correction level.
