Stained glass QR code generator

Every module is a small glass pane in sapphire, ruby, emerald, violet, amber or teal, outlined in dark lead lines like a cathedral window. The finder squares are framed in heavy black with a red centre. It is bold and colourful while the dark leading keeps the pattern readable.

Works well for

  • Church, chapel and cathedral visitor guides
  • Museum and gallery exhibit labels
  • Craft fairs and glass studio stalls
  • Tourist heritage trail signs

Printing tip

Print in full colour on white or cream stock and keep the dark leading lines solid; do not shrink the code below 2.5 cm (1 in) or the thin lines may fill in.

Static or dynamic: a static code never expires but its link can't change. Pick Dynamic above (free with an account) to change the link after printing and count every scan.

Questions

Does a stained glass QR code with many colours scan?+

Yes. Each colour is dark enough to read as a dark mark, the dark leading adds contrast, and the code uses the highest error correction level. It was tested with real QR code readers before publishing.

Can I use it for a church or heritage site?+

It suits them well. Link to a visitor guide, opening hours or an audio tour, and place the code on a plaque or leaflet with a clear light border around it.

Can I change the link after printing?+

Not with this static code; the link is baked in and never expires. If you may need to change it later, AriaQR also offers dynamic, editable codes.
