Questions
Is this a QR code generator for the classroom?
Yes. Type or paste a link or any text, and the code shows large enough to scan from the seats, with the text under it. Full screen shows it on the projector.
How much text can a code hold?
Up to 500 characters. A short link makes a code that is easier to scan.
Can I print the code?
Yes. Download as image in the settings saves the code and its title as a picture you can print.
Can a phone read it in dark mode?
Yes. The code is always dark on a light square, in every mode, so a phone can read it.
Where does the text go?
Nowhere. The code is made on this device. This page keeps it in this tab and saves nothing; open it on the board and it is saved with your screen in your account.
Running a whole school? OpenEduCat for schools keeps it on one platform.
