How do I improve scan reliability if the result looks good but won’t scan?

Increase the QR visibility setting, reduce the overall style strength near the code, keep a clear quiet zone (blank margin) around the QR area, and avoid extreme blur or heavy texture over modules. Also test under normal indoor lighting and ensure the final crop doesn’t cut into the code edges.

Can I guide the look with a reference image instead of a text prompt?

Yes. Provide a reference image to the custom QR node. The node will align textures and edges to the QR matrix while borrowing colors and structure from your reference. If the code becomes hard to scan, reduce style strength or simplify the reference.

What image size works best?

Start with a square canvas to keep the QR proportions consistent. Higher resolution improves detail, but ensure the QR modules remain crisp with good contrast. For print, generate at the final print size or plan to upscale with care and re-test scanning afterward.

Where do the images save?

The SaveImage node writes the outputs as PNG files in your ComfyUI/output folder. Each run will create a new file; use the seed or naming options to keep versions organized.

Workflow

QR Code Image Generator

Turn an ordinary QR code into artwork. Instead of a plain black-and-white square, this blends your code directly into an image — the pattern becomes part of the composition, hidden in the textures, shadows, and shapes of the scene rather than stamped on top of it. The result still scans reliably with any phone camera, but it looks like something you'd actually want to put on a poster, album cover, business card, or product label. Just supply your link and a prompt or reference image describing the look you want, and you'll get back a piece that works as both a picture and a working code.

Run it from Python or TypeScript with the Comfy SDK. The same code targets Comfy Cloud or a ComfyUI you host yourself — only the base URL changes.

# Install (beta)
pip install comfy-sdk        # Python
npm i @comfyorg/sdk          # TypeScript

# Run this workflow (Python)
from comfy_sdk import Comfy

client = Comfy(api_key="comfyui-...")
wf = client.workflows.from_file("workflow_api.json")
job = client.run(wf)
for output in job.get_outputs("<output-node-id>"):
    output.to_file(output.name)

The SDK takes a workflow in API format: open this workflow in ComfyUI and use File → Export Workflow (API). API access requires a Comfy Cloud plan with an API key. SDK docs · Get an API key
