The picture is the code.

Not a QR code with a logo stuck on it. A piece of art whose own pattern is the scannable code — for your payment link, your guest wifi, your menu.

Or make a free pixel-icon code → a scannable QR with a heart, star, moon or more built right in. No sign-up.

Have a tester code? · Want something the studio can't make? Commissions for photographic and hand-worked pieces are currently booked — join the waitlist and we'll reach out when a slot opens.

The free run points at this site. Buying lets you put your own destination in and includes 40 generations and print-ready files.

These are real. Point your camera at any of them — they are working codes, and they lead back here.

How it works

Give us the destination. A payment link, a wifi password, a menu URL.
Scan the plain code first. We show you an ordinary black-and-white version and you check it does the right thing on your own phone — before any art exists. The picture is the code, so a wrong link means starting over, not patching.
Generate until you like one. Pick a style, make a batch, star your favourites.
Take the files. Print-ready at poster size, plus a test sheet for checking it on paper before you spend money on a big print.

Flat decorative work is deliberate: it is the style class whose codes read without any repair, because every part of the pattern commits to light or dark.

Worth knowing before you buy

Will it actually scan?: You check that yourself, twice. Once on the plain code before any art exists, and again on every frame in the studio, straight off the screen. The print files also include a test sheet so you can prove it on paper before paying a print shop.
Can I change where it points later?: No, and no one else can either. The destination is baked into the pattern — that is what makes it art rather than a sticker. A new destination means a new picture.
What if my link is long?: Longer links mean more, smaller blocks and a denser pattern. That usually looks better in these styles, not worse. We show you the exact grid size before you commit.
How big can I print it?: Comfortably to 18 inches, and further at a distance. Every purchase includes a 4096-pixel file.
Wifi codes — is that safe?: Anyone who photographs the picture has the password. That is fine for your own home and worth thinking about for a rental; use a guest network if you have one.
