Create a text QR code
Encode plain text, including Unicode characters and line breaks, directly into a QR code.
How to create a text QR code
- Enter the text you want to encode.
- Review the QR preview and the payload byte count shown below it.
- Run the local scan check, then export the PNG or SVG.
Text QR details
- The text becomes the QR payload itself, so anyone who scans the code can read what you encoded.
- Longer text produces a denser QR symbol and may require a larger print size for reliable scanning.
Private by design
The tool is designed for local browser processing. QR payloads and uploaded logos are not sent to our servers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I encode non-English text?
Yes. The generator supports Unicode text and counts the UTF-8 payload size.
Is there a text limit?
QR capacity varies with the QR version, encoding mode, and error-correction level. The tool rejects payloads beyond its configured byte ceiling.
