Frequently Asked Questions

Does a text QR code need internet?

No. The text is encoded directly into the QR code, so the scanner can read the message without visiting a website.

How much text can I put in a QR code?

Shorter text scans faster and prints cleaner. For longer content, it is usually better to link to a webpage instead.
