Option Description Default Value

--help

Print help
--basepath <value> -a <value>

Base path for all files. If set, all non-absolute paths are resolved relative to this base path
--inputfile <value> -b <value>

Input data (*) file name / path , if not specified, input is read from standard input.
--inputencoding <value>

Input encoding (UTF-8 | ISO-8859-1)

UTF-8
--inputformat <value> -c <value>

Input format (JSON|CSV)

JSON
--inputbase64 -d

Input is base64 encoded

false
--outputfile <value> -e <value>

Output file name, if not specified output is written into standard output
--outputformat <value> -f <value>

Output format (PNG|JPG)

PNG
--outputbase64 -g

Output is written base64 encoded

false
--desiredqrcodesize <value> -h <value>

Desired QR code size in pixels.

Please note that the size (pixels) varies - desired size is just a hint, actual number of pixels are always a multiple of the QR code modules in order to produce sharp results without anti-aliasing.

Render size is calculated as: nr_of_modules * round(desiredqrcodesize / nr_of_modules). Render size will be at least nr_of_modules.

1 (as few pixels as possible)
--loglevel <value> -x <value>

Log level (DEBUG|INFO|WARN|ERROR)

WARN
--logfile <value> -y <value>

Log file name, if log should be printed to log file instead of standard output (if no output file is used, log is written to log.txt as default value)
--lazylogfile=<value> -z <value>

If log file should be lazily initialized. If no logging occurs, file is not created in lazy mode.

false
--argumentsfile <value>

Arguments file name. As an alternative to passing arguments in the command line, arguments can be put into a a separate file. The only command line argument to set in this is case is 'argumentsfile'

stdin

The input data (*) if not provided by inputfile.

*) Data can be passed as JSON or CSV document. Please make sure that UTF-8 is used as encoding, otherwise specify it with the option --inputencoding. Input can be passed as base64 encoded string in case you encounter encoding issues, especially when passing via stdin.
