What is a Plain Text QR code?
A text QR code contains the text itself instead of a website link. It can be read without opening a web page, although the scanning device still controls how the result is displayed.What happens after scanning?
A compatible scanner displays the encoded text. Because the complete message is stored in the QR code, longer text creates a denser pattern that may need more physical space.Useful applications
- Equipment labels and asset identifiers
- Short instructions and reference codes
- Offline notes where a web page is unnecessary
Check before publishing
- Keep the message concise when the code must be printed small.
- Verify punctuation, line breaks and special characters in the final scan.
- Do not place secrets in a QR code that anyone nearby can scan.
