Text QR code generator

A text QR code holds the words themselves rather than a link, so scanning it shows the message even with no signal at all.

Logo

Your logo is read in the browser and never uploaded. Adding one switches error correction to Highest so the code still scans.

Recovers ~15%. The usual choice.

Blank space around the code. Scanners need some; zero is risky in print.

How to make a text QR code

  1. 1

    Type or paste the text you want the code to carry.

  2. 2

    Watch the capacity meter — around 1,000 characters is the practical ceiling.

  3. 3

    Style the code and add a logo if you want.

  4. 4

    Download PNG for screens or SVG for labels and print.

Questions

Does a text QR code need internet to scan?

No. The text lives inside the pattern itself, so any phone camera can read it offline. That's the main reason to choose text over a link.

How much text can one QR code hold?

The format allows a few thousand characters, but codes get dense and hard to scan long before that. Stay under about 300 characters for anything that will be scanned in a hurry or printed small.

Why does my code look so busy?

More text means more modules packed into the same square. Shorten the message, print it larger, or link to a page instead.
