Text codes can't change after you print them.

The words are stored in the pattern. A free account gives you an editable landing page instead, with a headline, your text and up to eight links. Update it anytime.

When someone scans it

The phone shows the text on screen. There's no website to load, so it works without signal.

Before you print

  • Shorter text makes a simpler pattern that's easier to scan. A few sentences is plenty.
  • The generator tells you when your text is too long for one code.
  • If the words might change, use an editable landing page instead.

What's in the pattern

Plain text

Welcome. The WiFi password is on the back of the menu.

Exactly what you type, encoded as UTF-8 so accents and other alphabets come through.

Questions

Does the phone need internet?
No. The text is in the pattern itself, so it shows without a connection.
How much text fits?
A few paragraphs at most, and less with a logo or higher error correction. The generator warns you when it won't fit, and shorter text scans more easily.
Can I use emoji or other alphabets?
Yes. Text is encoded as UTF-8, which current scanner apps read.
