Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a Text QR code?

Open your phone camera, point at the QR. The plain text content appears after you tap the prompt.

How much text can a QR code hold?

Up to roughly 4,000 alphanumeric characters or 2,000 bytes, depending on the error correction level you choose.

Is there character encoding I should know about?

We encode in UTF-8 by default, so emoji and non-Latin scripts are supported.

Can I update the text after sharing?

No. The QR code encodes a static snapshot. Re-generate and re-share to update.
