STRAIGHT ANSWERS

No catches.
No fine print.

How much text fits in a QR code?+

Capacity depends on characters and recovery level. Shorter content creates a simpler pattern that is easier to scan.

Does scanning need internet?+

No. Plain text is stored inside the QR code and can be displayed without an internet connection.

Can I encode emoji or non-English text?+

Most modern scanners support UTF-8 text, including many languages and emoji, though very long multibyte text creates denser codes.
