Basically, I want to make an artistic QR code of a website I made for my girlfriend, and then ship her a jigsaw puzzle of the QR code art.

There’s lots of services online that generate AI image QR codes, but the problem is they all max out at like 1024x1024. I need something at least 5x bigger than that for a physical, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. If I use an upscaler, it looks uncanny when you zoom in.

Basically, I want to make something like this, but much higher res: https://i.imgur.com/TeDvEgL.png

Any ideas?

    You can also generate a lower quality image and use an AI upscaler to increase the size of your artistic QR code.

    I just Googled “SVG qr code generator” and found this: https://qrplanet.com/qr-code-generator-svg

    SVG is a vector format so you can expand or shrink it without losing quality. So you could maybe bring it to 5000x5000 with illustrator/krita and then export to a raster format (jpg/png) so you can modify it how you want

      That’s great but what I’m trying to do is artistic QR generation like the example I linked in the post

      You can try HordeNG which has the ability to generate QR codes within a picture of your choosing. You can choose a resolution of 1024x1024 and a 4x upscaler which would bring the resolution to 4096x4096.

      I don’t think all of that is possible with an account with no kudos (credits), but feel free to PM me, I can gift you an api key with some kudos to play around.
