The text QR Code is the simplest of them all: it stores whatever message you type and shows the content on screen as soon as someone scans it, without opening a website or an app. It is useful for instructions, notices, recipes, event passwords or any short piece of information that needs to be read quickly.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when someone scans it?
The text appears directly on the phone screen, with no browser and no app. It is the fastest way to pass along a short piece of information.
Is there a character limit?
In practice, yes. Very long text makes the QR Code denser and harder to scan. Keep the message short and direct.
Do you need internet to read the text?
No. Since the content is written into the code itself, scanning works even with no internet connection.
