🖥️ What genqr-ai does

genqr-ai helps you make QR codes with the help of AI. You can use it to create codes for links, text, and other simple content. It is built for quick use on a Windows PC and works with a local app setup.

Use it when you want to:

• make a QR code from a web link
• turn plain text into a QR code
• keep your QR code work in one app
• run the app on your own computer

⚙️ What you need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• a stable internet connection
• enough free space to download the app
• a Gemini API key if the app asks for one
• permission to run downloaded apps on your PC

🚀 Install and run on Windows

1. Open the release page

Go to the genqr-ai releases page.

2. Download the latest file

On the release page, find the newest version.

Download the file made for Windows. It will often end in:

• .exe
• .zip

If you see a .zip file, save it to your computer and extract it first.

3. Open the app

If you downloaded an .exe file, double-click it to start the app.

If you downloaded a .zip file:

• right-click the file
• choose Extract All
• open the extracted folder
• double-click the app file inside

4. Allow Windows to run it

Windows may ask for permission to open the app.

If that happens:

• click More info
• click Run anyway

This is common for files you download from GitHub.

5. Set up the API key

Some parts of genqr-ai use the Gemini API.

If the app asks for a key, add your GEMINI_API_KEY in the app settings or .env.local file if you are using the source files.

Use the key from your Gemini account and save the change before you start the app again.

6. Start using genqr-ai

After the app opens, enter the content you want in the QR code.

Then:

• choose the type of content
• review the text or link
• generate the QR code
• save or copy the result

🛠️ If you want to run from source

This part is for users who want the full project files.

1. Install Node.js

Install Node.js on your Windows PC if it is not already there.

You can check it by opening Command Prompt and typing:

node -v

If you see a version number, Node.js is ready.

2. Download the project

Get the project files from GitHub.

You can use the release page or clone the repository if you already know how to do that.

3. Install dependencies

Open a terminal in the project folder and run:

npm install

This downloads the files the app needs.

4. Add your Gemini API key

Create or edit the .env.local file in the project folder.

Add this line:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Replace your_api_key_here with your real key.

5. Start the app

Run:

npm run dev

Then open the local address shown in the terminal.
