Frequently asked questions

How much text can a QR code hold?

A few thousand characters, but shorter text makes a simpler code that scans faster and more reliably.

Will it open a link?

Plain text is displayed as text. For a clickable web address, use the URL tab.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The QR code is made entirely in your browser.
