SwiftQRCode

Free Text QR Code Generator

Sometimes you just need to encode raw text. Use this when the data isn't a URL, phone, or other structured type.

Use cases

  • Coupon and promo codes
  • Inventory labels
  • Serial numbers and asset tags
  • Secret notes (not encrypted — just obscure)

Pro tips

  • Shorter text = simpler, more scannable QR.
  • For >500 chars, raise error correction to Q or H to stay reliable.
  • SVG is infinitely scalable — best for print.

How to create one

  1. Paste your text into the editor.
  2. Tune colors, margin, and error correction.
  3. Download as PNG, SVG, JPG, or WebP.

Why SwiftQRCode?

We built SwiftQRCode because every other free generator either watermarks your code, forces signup, or uploads your data. Ours is 100% client-side, open about its stack, and endlessly free.

FAQ

Is there a character limit?
Technically up to ~4,296 alphanumeric characters, but we recommend staying under ~500 for reliable scanning.
Is the text encrypted?
No. Anyone who scans can read it. Encrypt before encoding if you need secrecy.
What's the difference from URL mode?
URL mode ensures the scanner treats the data as a clickable link.
