What is a Text QR Code?
A Text QR Code is a versatile QR code that can store any plain text information. When scanned, it displays the text directly on the user's device without requiring an internet connection. This makes it perfect for sharing messages, notes, instructions, quotes, contact information, or any text-based content.
