About Text to QR Code
Create a QR code from any text: a website link, plain message, Wi-Fi login string, phone number or vCard contact. Download it as a PNG image for screens and documents, or as a scalable SVG that stays sharp at any print size. You control the size, quiet zone, error correction level and colours.
When it helps
- Putting a link to your menu, portfolio or booking page on posters, flyers and business cards.
- Sharing Wi-Fi access with guests using a WIFI:T:WPA;S:network;P:password;; string.
- Adding a contact card QR code to a name badge or email signature.
- Linking printed packaging, manuals or event signs to online information.
Tips
- Use SVG for print. It can be resized for a banner or a business card without becoming blurry.
- Keep a quiet zone of at least 2 modules. The QR specification recommends 4, and scanners can struggle when the code touches other artwork.
- Higher error correction lets the code survive damage or a small logo on top, but it adds more modules and makes the code denser. Medium suits most uses.
- Keep strong contrast with a dark foreground on a light background. Inverted or pale colour schemes can fail on some phone cameras.
Good to know
Quick answers about text to qr code in your browser.
No. The text is encoded directly into the image, with no redirect service in between, so the code works as long as the link or information in it is still valid. The downside is that you cannot change where it points after printing.
Up to about 4,000 alphanumeric characters at low error correction, but long content makes very dense codes that are hard to scan. For long content, encode a short link to a page instead.
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.
No. Files are read and processed locally in your browser, so they never leave your device.
