- Wait for the green "scans correctly" check, then download the PNG.
- Test the printed code with your own phone before sharing it widely.
What information is required
- Text
- Required. Up to 1,500 characters, but shorter is much better.

Tips
- Under 300 characters gives a code that scans easily.
- Some phones only show text without letting people copy it.
