The phone shows the text, usually with an option to copy it. Nothing opens or dials. Long text may be cut short in the camera’s pop-up until the person taps it.

If the text is a web address, phone number or email address, use that generator instead so the phone can open it.

• A serial number or asset label.
• A clue in a treasure hunt or classroom game.
• A note to move from one device to another.

• More text makes a denser code. Keep it short for anything printed small.
• Use a higher error correction level for labels that may get scuffed.

• Scan it once before printing. Line breaks and special characters are kept exactly as typed.
• Avoid characters people confuse when reading back, such as the letter O and the digit 0.

The text is put into the code in your browser and never sent to QRCraftly. Anyone who scans it can read all of it, so leave secrets out.
