What is a Text QR Code?
A Text QR Code stores plain text that can be read instantly when scanned—no internet connection needed. It's ideal for short messages, promo codes, or instructions. Unlike URL-based QR codes, text QR codes work offline, making them perfect for printed materials where connectivity might be limited. The encoded text appears immediately after scanning, with no redirects or loading times.
Use Cases
- Display codes: Share discount codes, serial numbers, or reference numbers
- WiFi passwords: Show WiFi credentials in plain text without revealing them visibly
- Printed messages: Embed instructions, quotes, or information in posters
- Temporary notes: Create disposable QR codes for one-time information sharing
Technical Details
Text QR codes can store up to 3KB of data, though shorter texts (under 300 characters) scan fastest. They support all ASCII characters including numbers, letters, and basic symbols. For maximum compatibility across scanners, we recommend keeping text under 150 characters and avoiding special characters when possible.
