Text QR vs URL QR Code
Unlike URL QR codes that require internet access, text QR codes store information directly. This makes them faster and more reliable in low-connectivity environments.
- Text QR → instant display, no loading
- URL QR → opens browser, requires internet
- Text QR → fully private (no tracking)
