A text QR carries plain text — no link, no action, just text the user's QR scanner reads and shows. Don't confuse it with URL QRs: scanning a text QR doesn't open a browser. It's the right format for codes, identifiers, and short messages where opening a webpage would be wrong.

How it works

  1. 1

    Type or paste the text

    Enter the message. The shorter the text, the simpler the QR pattern and the easier to scan at small sizes.

  2. 2

    Style the QR

    Brand colors, logo, frame border. Capy QR keeps the QR scannable at every change.

  3. 3

    Download in the format you need

    Export as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or PDF at up to 3,200 pixels. No signup, no watermark, no limit on downloads.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use a text QR vs a URL QR?
Use text QR when the user should *see* the content (a promo code, a clue, a serial number) without opening a browser. Use URL QR when scanning should take them to a web destination.
How long can the text be?
QR codes can hold up to ~4,000 characters technically, but anything over 200 characters produces a dense pattern that's hard to scan at small sizes. Keep it under 100 characters when you can.
Will scanners auto-copy the text?
Most modern scanners show the text and offer a Copy button. Behavior varies — iOS shows the text inline, some Android scanners auto-copy. Test in your target environment.
Can I include emojis?
Technically yes — UTF-8 emojis are supported. Practically, emoji QRs are dense and finicky. Stick to text for predictable behavior.
