Text QR code FAQ

Is there a character limit?

There is no hard limit, but longer text creates dense QR codes. Keep it short for reliable scans.

Can I edit it after printing?

No. Text QR codes are static, so changes require a new code.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The QR code embeds the text directly, so it does not require a server.
