Create a text QR code

Store any text in a QR code. On scan the text appears directly — no internet connection needed.

A text QR code holds plain text with no link. It suits short notes, serial numbers, access codes or a label on a device. Because no address is opened, it also works offline.

Keep the text compact. More characters mean a denser pattern. For long text, a larger print size and a calm margin around it help.

Frequently asked questions

How much text fits?

Technically up to a few thousand characters. In practice: the shorter, the easier to scan. For long content, a link to a page is more robust.

Does scanning need the internet?

No. The text is inside the code itself and appears without a connection.
