Frequently asked questions
Do text QR codes work without internet?
Yes. The text lives inside the code, so any scanner can read it offline — no server or connection involved.
How much text fits in one code?
Up to roughly 1,200 characters in theory, but short messages scan faster and stay readable in small print. For longer content, host it on a page and use a URL code.
Is this QR code generator really free?
Yes. Every tool on try-qr.com is free and works without an account or signup. There are no scan limits and no watermarks.
Does this code expire?
No. The data is encoded directly into the pattern, so the code works forever, offline, with no server involved.
