About text QR codes

A text QR code opens a clean page with your text and a Copy button when someone scans it. Use it for short messages, codes, instructions or notes.

A QR code can hold a lot of text, but shorter text makes a simpler code that scans faster.

Tips

  • Keep the text short for the easiest scanning.
  • Use a link QR code instead if you want people to open a page.
  • Add tracking to see how many people read your message.
  • Test the code before printing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert text to a QR code?

Open the Text tab, paste your text and click Generate QR code. Then download the image.

How much text can a QR code hold?

A QR code can hold a few thousand characters, but very long text makes a dense code that is harder to scan.

Can I track scans of a text QR code?
