Plain text
Text QR code
A text code carries whatever you type, with no special URL or contact wrapper. Use it for a door code, a one-time passphrase, a short instruction, or a line you want people to copy rather than visit.

Enter some text to encode.
Shorter is better. A paragraph still fits, but the modules get small and cheap cameras struggle, especially with a logo in the middle. If the content is a website, Wi-Fi, or a contact, switch to those types so phones offer the right action.
Download PNG for a sticker, SVG for a vector layout. If you copy an embed snippet, the text is in that code, so do not put secrets in a public embed.
Questions
- Is there a length limit?
- QR capacity depends on error correction. If the library cannot encode the text, the preview will say so. Shorten the copy or drop the logo.
- Will the phone open a website if I paste a URL here?
- Some cameras detect a URL in plain text. For a reliable open-in-browser action, use the URL type.
- Can I encode line breaks?
- Yes. They are stored as part of the text. How a scanner displays them depends on the app.
