Plain Text QR Code Generator
Static text. Permanently embedded. Zero scanning overhead.
A plain text QR code encodes any text directly into the code. When scanned, it shows the text on screen without opening a browser. Great for short messages, serial numbers, asset codes, and offline information that doesn't need a URL.
