How much text can a QR code hold?

Bikto accepts up to 1,000 characters. Longer text produces denser codes that are harder to scan, especially when printed small.

Can I change the text after printing?

No. Static text is part of the image. To show content you can change later, link a trackable QR code to a web page instead.

Is my text stored by Bikto?

The code is generated in your browser. The content is only stored by Bikto if you save the code to your workspace.
