## About

## What it does
QR Code Generator creates downloadable QR codes from plain text, URLs, vCard details, or Wi‑Fi credentials. Send one of those inputs in the request body, and you get back either a pre-signed cloud storage URL or a binary file, depending on the endpoint you use.

Use `content` to encode raw text or a URL, `v_card` to generate a contact QR code, or `wifi_info` to produce a Wi‑Fi login code. The request body also supports optional QR styling: `logo` for a center overlay image, `foreground_color` and `background_color` for color control, `is_gradient` for gradient foregrounds, and `recovery_level` for error correction tuning. For contact cards, `v_card` accepts fields such as `name`, `phone_numbers`, `email`, `website`, `address`, `organization`, and related profile details.

Choose the `/link` endpoint when you want a cloud-hosted image reference in the response. Choose `/download` when you want the QR code file returned directly as binary data. That makes QR Code Generator fit workflows like event badges, business cards, onboarding handouts, printed menus, and captive Wi‑Fi access points.

The response is simple: a URL for hosted delivery, or a file download for immediate use. If you are generating QR codes inside an app, CMS, or print pipeline, this keeps the integration focused on the data you already have and the output format you need.
