Start with a visual direction
Choose a local pattern for a quick starting point: botanical greens, warm sunset shapes, or ocean blues. Each generation gives three new variations. For a personal design, upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP reference image. Reference images are cropped to a square and processed in the browser.
Understand where the artwork goes
The Art QR workspace keeps a protected, high-contrast code inside the composition. It samples the artwork to tint the QR pattern while maintaining dark modules, light spaces, and a clear border. This approach gives the image personality while keeping the exact website address in the code.
Use AI when it is available
For AI artwork, sign in with Google and open AI artwork inside Agent. A generated background costs 50 credits; describe the illustration you want. Only the description is sent for image generation; the website URL is added to the artwork locally. An explicit checkbox controls the request. Local styles and uploaded references remain available without that service.
Choose and test the final design
Every generated candidate must pass a digital decode check before it becomes downloadable. Select a design and download its 1200 × 1200 PNG, or carry it into the print workspace. Scan the final image with a phone and test a printed card before sharing it widely. A digital check is useful evidence, but it cannot reproduce every camera, paper, or lighting condition.
