How to Share Text Online with a QR Code
Create a text sharing link and QR code in a few steps. The QR code opens your saved note, so recipients can read it on a phone or computer with internet access.
Write or paste your text
Enter a note, announcement, instructions, or formatted text in the editor. Review it before creating the share link.
Choose an expiration
Select an available link duration in the editor. The note and its QR code link will work while the saved note is available.
Create your share link
Click Save to create your note. The note page includes a QR code that points to its shareable URL.
Share the QR code or link
Download the QR code image or copy the note link. Recipients can scan the code with a phone camera to open and read your text.
A Simple Way to Share Text with a QR Code
Create one shareable note that people can open from a link or by scanning its QR code. Use it for quick handoffs in person, on screen, or in print.
Text and rich formatting
Write or paste your content and use the editor's formatting tools to make notes, instructions, and snippets easier to read.
A QR code for your note
Each saved note has a QR code that opens its shareable page, making it easy to move text from a screen or handout to a phone.
Downloadable QR image
Download the generated QR code as an image to add it to a presentation, document, or printed sign.
Share by link, too
Copy the note URL when a clickable link is more convenient than a QR code. Both open the same saved text.
Set a link duration
Choose from the expiration options available in the editor so the note remains accessible for the period you need.
Open it in a browser
Recipients can scan the code or open the link in a web browser. They need an internet connection to view the saved note.
Share Text Online with QR Code FAQ
How do I share text online with a QR code?
Type or paste your text in the editor and save it to create a shareable note. Open the note page to get its QR code, then download the code or share the note link.
Does the QR code contain the text itself?
The QR code points to your saved note's web address; it does not contain the full text. Scanning it opens the note in a browser, so the recipient needs an internet connection.
How can someone scan the text QR code?
Open the camera or QR scanner on a phone, point it at the code, and tap the link that appears. The link opens the saved text in a browser.
Can I share the text without a QR code?
Yes. Copy the note's shareable URL and send it in a message, email, document, or any other place that accepts links.
Can I download the QR code for printing?
Yes. Use the download button on the note page to save the QR code image. Test the printed code with a phone camera before distributing it.
Will the QR code work after my note expires?
The code continues to point to the same note URL, but recipients can only read the note while it is available. After its selected expiration, the note may no longer be accessible.
Can I format text before I share it?
Yes. The editor supports rich text formatting, so you can organize your note before saving it and sharing its link or QR code.
Do recipients need an app to read the shared text?
No special app is needed if their phone camera can scan QR codes. The code opens the note in a web browser, and an internet connection is required.
Can I use a QR code to share private or sensitive text?
A QR code makes the note link easy to open, so share it only with people you intend to reach. Avoid adding passwords, financial details, or other sensitive information to a shared note.
