Tips for Plain text codes
- Keep it short: long text makes the code dense and harder to scan.
- Good for serial numbers, short instructions and scavenger hunts.
- Print at least 1 in wide for arm's length, 2 in on tables, 8 in or more on signs read from a distance.

Questions
Is a Plain text QR code static or dynamic?
Static. A plain text code holds the information itself, so it works with no internet connection and without us, but it cannot be edited after printing.
Can my Plain text QR code look like art?
Yes. We paint it in a style you choose, then test it with three decoders under 16 print and phone conditions before you can download it.
Does it expire?
Free static codes never expire. Dynamic codes keep redirecting to your last link even if you cancel your plan.
