COMMON ISSUES / FAQ

I want to add custom Images/Icons to the QRCode, can you add that?

Thats not something i plan to add. Basically you can just increase the error correction and just place whatever icon you want over the QRCode.
You can do that with any image processing or heck even document processing tool, so it seems a bit to out of scope at the moment.

I want to generate multiple QRCodes, Can you add that function?

It's part of the backlog - i wanted to add this feature ... but haven gotton around adding the feature yet. Not sure if or when i'll get the time.
That said, pull requests are very much welcome.

It fails to generate a QR Code for a link. What gives?

Very likely that supposed link isnt actually a real html anchor (aka. hyperlink) element, but some other element where a crazy webdesigner used the onclick handler to make a fake link.
I am sure they had their reasons, but sadly there is nothing i can do here since technically there is no link present. The best you can do is open the and then QR'ify the opend URL of the tab.
