About text QR codes

A text QR code shows a message on the scanner's screen. It needs no internet connection and no website: the text is stored inside the code itself.

It suits short, fixed information like serial numbers, instructions or a hidden message. For anything longer than a few sentences, link to a page instead so the code stays easy to scan.

Popular uses

  • Serial numbers and asset tags
  • Instructions on equipment
  • Scavenger hunts and puzzles
  • Offline notes in places without signal

Tips for a reliable scan

  • Keep it under 300 characters for codes that scan reliably from print.
  • Plain text can't be tracked or edited after printing.
  • Some scanner apps show text in a search bar. Say in the text what it is.
