Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Text QR codes.
How do I scan a text QR code?
Open your phone camera or a QR scanner app and point it at the code. The text will appear on your screen automatically.
Is there a character limit?
We recommend keeping it under 300 characters for the best scanning experience. Theoretically, QR codes can hold up to 4,296 characters, but the code becomes very complex and harder to scan with standard phone cameras.
Do I need internet to scan a Text QR code?
No. Text QR codes are 'static' codes, meaning the data is encoded directly into the image pattern. You can scan and read them completely offline, making them perfect for remote locations or secure environments.
Is my text private?
Yes. We prioritize your privacy. The generation process happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text data is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
Can I change the text after printing?
No. Static QR codes are permanent. If you need to change the text later, you must generate a new QR code. For editable content, you would need a Dynamic QR Code (which we also offer).
