Text QR Code Generator
Encode plain text: one scan displays it right on the phone's screen. The simplest way to pass a short piece of information — a WiFi password, an instruction, a clue, a code word.

#1a1a21#ffffffHigher levels keep the code readable when damaged or partially covered (logo) — but make it denser. Pick H when using a logo.

Batch generation
One QR code per line (link or text), up to 200 codes at once: the style chosen above is applied to all of them, then everything downloads as a single ZIP file. As always, generation happens in your browser — your list is never sent anywhere. (Frames are not applied in batch.)
Up to 200 codes per batch — free, like everything else.
Nothing to host
No website, no link: the text lives in the code. Nothing to put online, nothing to maintain.
Works offline
The phone decodes the pattern with no connection: useful in low-signal places.
Fully private
The text is stored nowhere: it's encoded locally in your browser, then in the pattern.
How to create your text QR code
1.
Type your text
An instruction, an identifier, an invitation: keep it under a few hundred characters.
2.
Customize
Colors and logo for a code that fits nicely on your media.
3.
Share the code
Printed on a document, shown on a screen, sent in an email: one scan is all it takes.
Text QR code FAQ
What exactly does the phone show?
The plain text you encoded, with no intermediate page. The phone sometimes offers to search the content on the web.
Is there a length limit?
Technically up to ~2,900 characters, but a QR code scans best when it stays short. Under 300 characters is ideal.
Can anyone read the text?
Yes, anyone can scan the code and read it. Don't put genuinely sensitive information in it.
Does it work without internet?
Yes: decoding happens entirely on the phone. It's one of the advantages of pure text over a link.
