Blotchy QR code generator

Each dot is an irregular ink blot with soft swelling edges and tiny flecks beside it, in deep indigo, midnight blue and violet with brushed paint streaks on a warm paper panel. The random character makes every module feel hand-made, while the overall pattern is still a clean QR code.

Printing tip

Use the dark indigo tones on uncoated white or cream paper at 3 cm (1.2 in) or larger so neighbouring blots do not merge.

Static code: it never expires, but the link can't change after printing. Need edits or scan counts? Make a dynamic code.

Questions

Does an ink-blot QR code scan?+

Yes. Blots stay within their modules, the code uses the highest error correction level and the design is tested with real QR code readers.

Can I use it on artwork?+

Yes, as long as the code keeps its white border and contrast. Check a printed proof first.

Does it expire?+

No. The code is static, so it never expires, but the link cannot be edited after printing.
