A text QR code stores the text itself in the QR pattern. It can be useful for short instructions, event notes, product information, reference codes or simple messages that do not need a website link.
- Choose Plain Text in the QR generator.
- Enter the message or information you want to share.
- Customize the colors, pattern and optional logo.
- Download and scan-test the image with a phone before sharing it.
Text is stored directly inside the QR image. Keep messages reasonably short for easier scanning, and do not encode passwords or private information in a public QR.

Can a QR code contain plain text?
Yes. Select Plain Text, enter your message and download the generated QR image.
Does a text QR code need an internet connection?
The text is stored in the QR itself, so reading it does not normally require opening a website. The phone still needs a QR scanning feature or app.
Is there a text length limit?
QR codes have data capacity limits that depend on the character set and error-correction setting. Shorter text generally produces a simpler, easier-to-scan QR.
