- Shorter text yields a simpler, more reliable code.
- For links use the URL type instead so phones open them automatically.
FAQ
- How much text can a QR hold?
- A lot — up to several thousand characters — but the more you encode, the denser and harder to scan it becomes. Keep it concise.
- Does the text need internet to read?
- No. Plain-text QR codes are self-contained, so any scanner can read them offline.
