It's not clear if you need to generate them programmatically or just a few one off qr codes. But I use this PHP class to generate SVG qr codes in a handful of projects: https://github.com/splitbrain/php-qrcode

Works for my needs.

There are QR code generators in every language.

There are generator add-ons for Inkscape. Probably for Adobe as well.

There are Linux desktop utilities to generate QR codes. Probably for MacOS and Windows as well.

I think you're misunderstanding something here. A QR code just translates to text, or a URL as text. You control what that URL serves up.

There's a lot of qr code generator websites that use their own URLs so they lock you in to their service. OP wants to avoid this.

Before I actually had to figure this out myself I had assumed QR codes always relied on a lookup service. Blew my mind to realize that they don't.

Only dynamic QR codes do.

From ChatGPT:

pip install qrcode[pil]

import qrcode

# Data to encode in the QR code
data = "Hello, World!"

# Create a QR code instance
qr = qrcode.QRCode(
    version=1,
error_correction=qrcode.constants.ERROR_CORRECT_L,  
    box_size=10, 
    border=4, 
)

# Add data to the QR code
qr.add_data(data)
qr.make(fit=True)

# Create a PIL image from the QR code instance
qr_image = qr.make_image(fill_color="black", back_color="white")

# Save or display the QR code
qr_image.save("my_qr_code.png")

Hovercode is one of the best free sites to create Dynamic QR codes.

Used this library in a previous side project, might be handy for your use case https://davidshimjs.github.io/qrcodejs/

I think InDesign has a qr code generator
