Creating a QR Code

This activity allows a version 1 QR code to be created by entering the settings one step at a time.

At each state the available options are limited by the results of the previous steps.

The setting that can be specified are:

  • The Encoding
  • The Error Level
  • The Mask Pattern

The maximum length of text allowed for a version 1 QR code is:

  • 41 numeric characters
  • 25 alphanumeric character
  • 17 binary characters.

If the text entered is too long for the encoding, the text will be truncated to allow it to fit.

At any stage the setting can be changed.
