How to make one

  1. Type your message. Keep it short. Up to a few hundred characters scans most easily.
  2. Style it and download. Pick a style and check the scan test passed.

Keep it short

The more text, the denser the code, and the larger you need to print it. For long information, a link to a web page is easier to scan and can be changed later.

Questions

Does a text QR code need internet?

No. The text is stored inside the code, so phones can show it offline.

How much text can I put in?

Up to about 1,500 characters here, but under 300 is much easier to scan, especially when printed small.
