Create Text QR Code with Standard Black-&-White Design
You have an information system or mobile app that generates an alphanumeric ID. This could be a tracking, payment, product, profile, personnel, or any other inventory mangement identification code. You want to programmatically convert this ID or text into a standard black-and-white QR Code. The size of the QR Code should be 350 x 350px and the image should be in PNG format. When scanned, this QR Code should share the encoded ID (say ABCD123456) or text with the scanning device (smartphone or optical scanners).
