Plain Text QR Code FAQ

How much text can I encode in a QR code?
A QR code can store up to about 2,900 characters of plain text at the lowest error correction level. The more text you add, the denser and harder to scan the code becomes — keep it under 500 characters for best results.
What happens when someone scans a text QR code?
Their phone displays the text directly in the camera app or a small overlay — no browser, no app launch, just the text.
Can I encode a password in a QR code?
Yes, but note that anyone who scans the code can read the text. It's not encrypted — treat it like writing text on paper.
