Frequently asked questions

How much text fits in a QR code?

Technically up to ~4,000 characters, but codes get dense and hard to scan. Under 300 characters stays comfortable; under 1,000 is workable at larger print sizes.

Does it need internet to read?

No — the text is stored in the pattern itself. Any camera app shows it offline.

What is plain text QR used for?

Serial numbers, equipment info, geocaching and treasure hunts, Wi-Fi-free instructions and gift messages.

Need it printed?

Put this code on stickers, signs, menus, banners or business cards — printed and shipped UK-wide by FatPrint.
