Text QR FAQ

Before you download.

Does a text QR code need internet access?

No. The text is stored directly in the QR pattern and can be read offline.

How much text can I include?

QR codes can hold thousands of characters, but shorter content creates a less dense code that scans more reliably.

Is my text stored?

No. Generation happens locally in your browser and the content is masked from analytics recordings.
