Text QR Code Generator
Encode any plain text into a QR code — a note, a serial number, instructions, or a Wi-Fi tip. Free, no signup, no watermark, and it never expires.
Awaiting input
Pick a style to start, then fine-tune it in the Shape, Color, Logo and Frame tabs.
Corners stay a solid color (not the gradient) — this keeps the code reliably scannable.
Your logo is added entirely in your browser and never uploaded. Error correction is raised automatically so the code still scans.
Framed codes download as PNG. Remove the frame to export SVG.

About this tool
A text QR code simply stores whatever text you type, so that scanning it displays that text on the phone — no link, no app. It is useful for short instructions, product details, serial numbers, inventory tags, scavenger-hunt clues, and anywhere you want information available offline without a website.

Frequently asked questions
What shows up when scanned?
The exact text you entered appears on the scanner's screen. There is no link to open.
How much text can a QR code hold?
QR codes hold a few thousand characters at most, but shorter text makes a cleaner, easier-to-scan code. Keep it concise.
Does it need internet to read?
No. Because the text is stored in the code itself, it can be read completely offline.
Will it expire?
No. Static text codes work forever.
