A QR code stores your text as a pattern of black and white modules that any smartphone camera can decode. The tool uses the open-source qrcodejs library to produce standards-compliant codes with error correction, so they scan reliably even at small sizes or with slight damage to the printed code.

Frequently asked questions
Do these QR codes actually scan?
Yes — codes are produced with an open-source, standards-compliant QR library, so they work with normal smartphone cameras and QR readers.
Is there a limit to how much text I can encode?
QR codes hold a limited amount of data — a URL or a few sentences is ideal. Very long text will exceed the code's capacity.
Do the codes expire?
No. A QR code is just a picture of your text — it never expires and works as long as the content behind it (for example, a URL) stays valid.
