Frequently Asked Questions

How much text can a QR code hold?

A QR code can hold up to approximately 4,296 alphanumeric characters or 2,953 bytes of data. However, more text means a denser, more complex code that requires larger print sizes. For best scannability, keep text under 300 characters.

Can a text QR code contain emojis or special characters?

QR codes support UTF-8 encoding, so emojis and characters from most languages are supported. However, special characters increase the data size, making the code more complex. Test scannability after including special characters.

What happens when someone scans a text QR code?

The text is displayed on the screen of the scanning device. The user can then copy it, share it, or take action on it. Unlike URL QR codes, text codes do not open a browser — they simply show the encoded text.
