Text QR code generator

A complete address starting with http:// or https:// is recognised as a web address, and the scanner offers an open button. Something starting with just www. — or a bare domain — isn't verified as a web address and is treated as text. The text and URL types produce an identical code for the same string, so what decides this isn't the type you pick but the https:// prefix. If you mean it as a link, include the prefix.

The input field sets no length cap, but go past what the QR format can hold and the code won't generate — you'll get an error instead. Print size becomes the limit long before that, though. In practice, a line or two suits business-card or label sizes, while a short paragraph is fine if you can print it generously large. The reliable check is to print at your real size and scan it.

Yes. A text QR stores exactly what you type, so line breaks and symbols go in as they appear. Just bear in mind they all count toward the character total and grow the code.
