Is there a text length limit?

QR codes have a practical capacity limit (a few thousand characters) — very long text will fail to encode or produce a dense, hard-to-scan code, so keep it short for reliable scanning.

What can I put in a text QR code?

Anything — it's stored as plain text, not a specific data type. Whatever text you enter is exactly what a scanner will read back.

Does this tool upload what I type?

No — the QR code is rendered on a canvas in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
