Great Question! Well technically that's possible, all you have to do is to convert the image into the text-based format and then generate a QR code out of that text.

You have to repeat the process by extracting the text from QR and then converting it back into the image.

Although, this may sound technically possible, practically it's really hard to achieve this since there will be so much text that you have to create a giant QR code to fit all the data into it. And then be able to scan it making sure every grid gets scanned. Now, this is impractical.

An easy way would be to upload the image somewhere, get the link & use that link to create a QR code.

I hope that answers your question ;)
