Beautifying QR Codes in the Age of GenAI
summary
A pipeline that converts plain QR images into decorative yet scannable art using QR Tool Kit for generation and analysis, ComfyUI with Stable Diffusion 1.5 for image synthesis, and ControlNet / IP-Adapter / Face Detailer to preserve QR structure and transfer faces. The workflow reports error-correction tolerances of about 7–30% damaged modules, runs on an RTX 4070 with 8 GB VRAM, and includes demos of multiple visual styles and animated faces (via Advance Live Portrait) while remaining readable by scanners.
