FAQ
How much text fits in a QR code?
A QR code can hold up to ~4,200 alphanumeric characters in theory, but keep it short (a sentence or two) so it stays easy to scan from a distance.
Will the text be readable?
Scanning shows the raw text on the phone. It isn't encrypted, so don't encode secrets you wouldn't want a scanner to read.
Is anything uploaded?
No — the text is encoded into the QR image in your browser and never sent anywhere.
