Frequently asked questions

What happens when someone scans a text QR code?

Their scanner app displays the exact text you entered — it won't open a link or an app.

How much text can I fit?

QR codes can hold a few thousand characters, but keep it under a few hundred for a code that's easy to scan and print at a reasonable size.

Can I use special characters or emoji?

Yes, this tool supports Unicode text, including accented characters and emoji.

URL QR Code

Paste a link, generate a QR code, and download it as PNG or SVG. Scanning opens the link directly in a phone's browser.

Email QR Code

Enter a recipient email plus an optional subject and message. Scanning the QR code opens the phone's mail app with a draft ready to send.
