Tips for a code that scans every time
Keep the text short, because long text makes the pattern dense.
Do not put secrets in a printed code. Anyone can read it.
Static text codes never depend on our servers, so they work offline.
Frequently asked questions
Does a text QR code need internet?
No. The phone reads the text straight from the pattern, so it works offline.
How much text can I use?
Several hundred characters is possible, but shorter text scans more easily at small sizes.
Can I edit it later?
No. Static codes are fixed once printed. Make a new code if the text changes.
