Advanced settings

Error correction helps a code remain readable if some of its data is damaged. M is a good choice for everyday use. Higher levels offer more recovery but make the code denser and leave less room for content. Percentages refer to recoverable code data, not the area you can cover. Always test the finished code.

How to create a Text code

Share a short message that can be read directly from the code, without opening a website.

  1. Enter your message, including any spaces or line breaks.
  2. Keep it brief for easier scanning.
  3. Generate the code and check its contents.
  4. Download it and test the message in a scanner app.

What to enter

Text
Your spaces, tabs, accents and line breaks are preserved. Longer messages, emoji and higher correction levels can fill a code more quickly. If the message does not fit, shorten it and try again.

Example

Static QR example

Scanning your code

Some camera apps recognise links but do not display plain text. If necessary, use a scanner app that supports text results.

Sharing and privacy

Anyone with the code can read the message. A QR code does not encrypt it, so share private messages carefully.

Questions about Text codes

Can I use emoji or other languages?

Yes. Test your code in the scanner apps your recipients use, as text support can vary.

Will spaces or accents change?

Your text, including spaces, line breaks and accents, is preserved.

Why does my message not fit?

Different characters take up different amounts of space. Emoji and higher correction levels can fill a code more quickly. Try a shorter message.
