Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the font of the text?

Yes. The tool provides a selection of common, web-safe fonts for your label. You can choose the font family, adjust the font size, and set the color to match your branding or design requirements.

Does the text below affect the scannability of the QR code?

A label placed outside the required four-module quiet zone should not cover QR modules, but the exported image must still be tested. The scanner will only focus on the QR pattern itself, while the text provides a helpful visual cue for the human user.

Can I get an SVG output from this tool?

This tool is designed to produce a single PNG file, rendering the QR code and text together into one flat image. A scalable SVG output is not available from this specific tool, as it cannot contain styled text.

How long can my text label be?

While there is no fixed limit, long labels will wrap to multiple lines and may become too small to read. A concise call-to-action of a few words, like 'Scan for Menu', is most effective.

Is the text part of the QR code data?

No. The text label is a visual element for human readers only and is not part of the encoded data. When scanned, the device will only read the data you entered in the main QR code content field.

Background

The Importance of a Call-to-Action

This tool creates a standard QR code and adds a line of custom text underneath it, generating a single image file. This is useful for providing context or a clear call-to-action.

  • A bare code tells nobody what it does. A line like "Scan for the menu" is what gets it scanned.
  • The text is a visual element for the user and is not encoded in the QR code. This keeps the code itself clean and scannable.
