How to make a Text QR code

  1. Type the message you want people to see.

  2. Keep it short. Shorter text gives a simpler pattern that scans faster.

  3. Style the code and download it as PNG or SVG.

Text QR code questions

How much text fits in a QR code?

A few hundred characters scan comfortably. Longer text makes the pattern denser and harder to scan, and the generator warns you before that happens.

Does the person scanning need internet?

No. The text is stored in the code itself and appears on the phone screen without going online.

Do I need an account?

No. You can make and download as many static QR codes as you like without signing up. A free account is only needed to save codes, organise them in folders, add a logo or make editable codes with scan tracking.

Do these QR codes expire?

No. A static QR code keeps everything inside the pattern itself, so it works for as long as you use it, with no watermark and no trial period.
