How it works
Type your text
Enter any plain text — keep it to a few hundred characters so it stays crisp at print size.
Download and print
Save the QR as PNG and put it on packaging, labels, signage, or a handout.
Anyone scans to read
A phone camera shows the text instantly — no app, no internet, no landing page.
Who uses Text QR codes
Product info & codes
Batch numbers, serials, or care details printed straight onto the label.
Notices & instructions
A short message on a noticeboard, parcel, or equipment sticker.
Offline sharing
Share text where there is no signal — the words live inside the QR itself.
Quick copy
Long codes or references people would otherwise mistype by hand.
Static vs dynamic Text QR codes
A plain (static) QR is frozen the moment it's printed. A Photon QR is dynamic — editable, trackable, and reusable for life.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Text QR editable later?
No — a Text QR is static: the words are encoded directly into the pattern, so it works offline but cannot be changed after printing. If you need to edit the text later or track scans, use a Note QR instead.
Does it need internet to scan?
No. The text lives inside the QR itself, so any camera reads it with no connection and no app.
How much text can it hold?
Keep it to a few hundred characters. Longer text makes the QR denser and harder to scan at small print sizes.
Is it free?
Yes — Text QR codes are available on the free plan.
Can I track scans on a Text QR?
No — because it does not pass through our servers, scans are not counted. Use a Note QR if you want analytics and editing.
