A text QR code stores plain text directly in the code — a note, instructions, a serial number, a Wi-Fi password, a coupon code or any short message. When scanned, the text appears on the phone instantly, with no internet needed. Type your text, brand the code with your logo and colors, and download it. Because the message is encoded directly, the code is fully static and never expires.
