Text QR Code FAQ
How much text can I include in a QR code?
QR codes can technically hold up to 4,000 characters, but we recommend keeping text under 500 characters for reliable scanning. Longer text creates denser QR codes that are harder to scan, especially at smaller sizes.
How do I create a QR code for a Bible verse?
Simply type or paste the verse text into the generator, including the reference (e.g., 'John 3:16 - For God so loved the world...'). The QR code will display the full text when scanned.
What happens when someone scans a text QR code?
The text appears on their phone screen. Unlike URL QR codes, it doesn't open a website - the text is displayed directly. Users can then copy, share, or save the text as needed.
Can I use this for weekly announcements?
Yes! Text QR codes are great for quick announcements. Just keep in mind that you'll need to generate a new QR code each time the message changes, unlike a URL QR code that links to an updateable page.
What's the difference between text and URL QR codes?
Text QR codes contain the actual text content - it's displayed directly when scanned. URL QR codes contain a web address that opens in a browser. Use text for short messages, and URLs for longer or frequently updated content.
Can I include emojis in the text?
Yes, most QR code scanners support emojis and special characters. However, for maximum compatibility across all devices, we recommend sticking to standard text characters.
