Questions

Is there a length limit?
A QR code holds a few thousand characters at most. We warn you when the text will not fit, or when the squares would be too small to scan.
Can I use Hindi letters?
Yes. The code stores Unicode text. The person scanning sees it in their camera or QR app.
Is the text private?
Yes. It stays in your browser. We do not receive it.
