QR Codes Are Getting a Major Makeover Thanks to Stable Diffusion, a New Artificial Intelligence Model

Gone are the days of boring, black and white QR codes.

Which one catches your eye?

Previously, people could play around with different colors and shapes of QR codes, but there wasn’t much room for customization.

That is until Reddit user r/nhciao made a post to the r/StableDiffusion community on June 5th, 2023, sharing eye-catching QR code mockups they created using an AI model called Stable Diffusion.

In a world of dwindling attention spans and an overwhelming influx of AI-generated content, our minds are being constantly bombarded with stimuli— and our precious attention is becoming more and more of a commodity.

That's where illustrated QR codes come in. These codes are more than just a way to scan and access information; they're works of art in their own right. They're eye-catching, engaging, and memorable—exactly what you need to capture your audience's attention. Boring, black and white QR codes won’t do the trick anymore. Marketers, take note!

More attention, more scans, and more conversions.

If you're looking for a way to get you and your brand noticed, combine the power of your own creativity with the power of AI— and don’t forget to have fun along the way.

If you need me, I’ll be playing around with Stable Diffusion and trying to figure out how to create my own works of QR code art before the rest of the world catches on!
