Generate Plain Text QR Codes

Text QR codes store any arbitrary string of characters. Unlike URL QR codes, they don't open a browser -- the scanned text is displayed directly on the screen. This makes them ideal for serial numbers, coupon codes, secret messages, notes, and any data that doesn't need to link anywhere.

Common Applications

  • Coupon codes: Print redeemable discount codes on marketing materials
  • Serial numbers: Tag products and assets with unique identifiers
  • Wi-Fi passwords: Share text that users can copy-paste (for non-standard formats)
  • Scavenger hunts: Encode clues for games and interactive experiences
  • Inventory tracking: Label items with scannable text identifiers

Capacity Limits

A QR code can store up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 7,089 numeric characters. However, shorter text produces simpler QR codes with larger modules, which scan more reliably. For best results, keep your text under 300 characters.
