What Is a Text QR Code?
A text QR code stores plain text inside a QR code. When someone scans it with a compatible QR scanner, the encoded text can be displayed on their device.
Unlike a URL QR code, a text QR code does not need to open a website. It can contain short messages, instructions, notes, codes, labels or other text.
Always scan your finished QR code with a real smartphone before printing or sharing it. Keep enough white space around the QR code and use good contrast for reliable scanning.
