Turn Any Text Into a QR Code
Type a message, a note, a code or a list and get a QR code that shows it when scanned. The code is drawn in your browser. Download a PNG or SVG. Free, no watermark, no account.
Type or paste your text and the code appears as you go. There is no limit. A copy of the text is kept for safety review when you download the code, so do not put passwords or private notes in it.
Scanning shows the text on screen. Long text makes a denser code that is harder to scan, so keep it short when you can.
Always test-scan your code with a phone before you print it.
Safety review: when you download a static code, we keep a copy of its text for up to 90 days so our team can check for scams and harmful content. See the Privacy Policy.
Safety review: when you download a static link, text or email code, we keep a copy of its content for up to 90 days so our team can check for scams and harmful content. Wi-Fi, contact-card, phone and calendar codes are never sent to us. See the Privacy Policy.
How to turn text into a QR code in 3 simple steps.
No account and no watermark. Free to download as PNG or SVG.
Type your text
Write or paste your message, serial number, instructions or any other plain text. Line breaks are kept.
Customize
Choose colors, shape and size, and add a logo if you need one. High error correction helps on printed labels.
Download and test
Save it as a PNG or SVG and scan it. Most phones show the text on screen and offer to copy it.
What a text QR code does
A text QR code holds plain words and numbers. When a phone scans it, the text is shown on screen with options to copy or search it. There is no link and no website involved, which makes text codes the simplest kind: they work offline, never expire and cannot be switched off.
There is a size limit. A QR code can hold a few thousand characters at the very most, and the more text you add, the denser and harder to scan the pattern gets. For anything beyond a couple of sentences, put the text on a web page and use the URL to QR code tool instead.
Good uses for text QR codes
