QR codes are back in style, and now you can make yours stand out with some slick animation powered by DALL-E 3. This guide will take you through the steps to create an animated QR code with a personalized frame for your brand.
Step 1: Craft Frame Prompts
Start by describing decorative frames tailored to your brand. For instance:
“Design an AI-marketing themed square frame for our QR code, ensuring it remains scannable.”
Be specific in your descriptions to ensure that the generated images align with your brand’s aesthetic.
Step 2: Generate 8+ Variations
You’ll need eight images to create an animated GIF. Since DALL-E 3 generates four images at a time, you can type “Regenerate” to create multiple options. Browse through the generated images, select your favorites, and download eight or more variations.
Step 3: Create QR Codes
Next, prompt ChatGPT to generate QR codes linking to your site or content. You can use the Advanced Data Analysis feature with a prompt like this:
“Create 8 QR codes 400x400px with a box size of 40 pointing to the website below. Each should be a different shade of dark primary color. Website: therundown.ai”
This will ensure you have a set of QR codes ready for the next step.
Step 4: Combine Frames and Codes
Once you have your frames and QR codes, upload your DALL-E generated frames to ChatGPT and prompt it to overlay the QR codes. For example:
“Sequentially add 1 QR code to the center of each of these images. Then, create an animated gif with a frame duration of .5s each.”
ChatGPT will process your request and provide you with an animated GIF.
Step 5: Export as an Animated GIF
Finally, download the dynamic, on-brand QR code created by ChatGPT. You now have an animated QR code that’s ready for scanning, sharing, and showcasing your brand in a unique and engaging way.
Follow these steps, and you’ll have a custom animated QR code that stands out and grabs attention, all while staying true to your brand’s aesthetic. Happy animating!
