Frequently asked questions
Is there a character limit for text QR codes?+
QR codes can hold up to about 4,296 alphanumeric characters. Longer text produces denser codes that may be harder to scan from a distance, so keep messages concise when possible.
Can I encode multi-line text?+
Yes. Line breaks are preserved in the encoded data. When scanned, the reader will display the text exactly as you typed it, including paragraphs and spacing.
Does this tool send my text to a server?+
No. The entire QR code generation happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.
What error correction level should I use?+
Medium (M) works for most cases. Use High (H) if the code will be printed on uneven surfaces or partially obscured. Higher correction increases code density.
Can someone edit the text after scanning?+
No. The QR code contains a static snapshot of the text. To change the content you need to generate a new code with the updated message.
