How the text QR code works
The QR code encodes exactly the text you type, without turning it into a link or any other format.
When scanned, the phone's camera app shows that text as is, ready to copy.
Worked example
If you type 'Hotel WiFi: password 1234', the QR code shows that exact text when scanned.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a character limit?
- Yes, up to 2000 characters. Very long text produces dense QR codes that are hard to scan.
- Does the text become a clickable link?
- No, it's shown as plain text unless the camera app itself recognizes the text as a URL.
