Frequently asked questions
How much text fits in a QR code?
It depends on error correction level. Short messages work best. Very long text makes a denser code that is harder to scan, so keep it short where possible.
Will the text show when scanned?
Yes. Most phone cameras show the plain text directly after scanning.
