Print scenarios (1‑click)

Applies size/ECC/quiet zone and a caption template for common print use cases.

Print DPI

Size

Quiet zone (margin)

Caption (optional)

Tip: add a short label near the QR for better scan intent (especially for print).

Tip: for best print results, use 3–5cm+ and keep high contrast with a clear quiet zone.

Poster / sticker sheet (SVG)

Title (optional)

Link line

No http(s) link is available to show for this template.

Print at 100% scale (disable “Fit to page”).

Share & history (local)

Share links recreate the same QR on another device. The data is stored after # in the URL (hash-only), so it isn’t sent to the server. Privacy details →

Draft

Not saved yet

Name (optional)

Saved locally (draft/history). Included in share links.

Draft saves your current inputs + styling so you can continue later.

Saved QRs

Saved instances store both content + styling locally in this browser (not uploaded).

Tip: “Local link” works only in this browser. Use “share link” to recreate the same QR on other devices.

Folder (optional)

Used to group Saved QRs (local).

Tags (optional)

Comma-separated. Used for search in Saved QRs (local).

No saved QRs yet. Click “Save current” after you like the result.

Recent

No local history yet. Use “Share this QR” to save one.

Live preview

Keep the QR in view while you edit

As you change inputs or style templates, this panel stays visible so you can check the QR and scan grade without losing context.

FAQ

Is this Text QR code generator free?

Yes. QRFlow is free to use and generates QR codes locally in your browser.

Do you upload my data?

No. Inputs stay in your browser. “Share this QR” stores data in the URL hash only (not sent to the server).

Which format should I download for printing?

Use SVG for crisp, print-ready output at any size. Use PNG for quick sharing.

What is a text QR code?

It stores plain text so scanners show your message directly without opening a link.

How much text can I include?

Short text is best. Longer text makes the QR dense and harder to scan.

Tips

Keep text short to make the QR easier to scan.
Avoid special characters if not needed.
Use higher error correction for print.
