About Text QR Codes
A Text QR code stores plain text directly in the QR code data. Unlike URL QR codes, they don't link to anything -- the text is displayed when scanned. This means they work completely offline.
Use Cases for Text QR Codes
Product serial numbers. Encode serial numbers or batch codes for easy inventory tracking.
Secret messages. Create fun scavenger hunts, escape rooms, or educational activities with hidden text clues.
Offline notes. Store addresses, instructions, or reference information that works without internet access.
Asset tags. Encode equipment IDs, locations, or maintenance notes for facility management.
