About

About “MojiQR” **MojiQR** is an app that generates QR codes made of text. A regular QR code is just a collection of squares. This one draws all of those black parts using your own words. You can write anything: “Hello”, “Thanks”, “What is love”, or whatever comes to mind. Your text becomes the pattern of the QR code itself. Sometimes it scans. Sometimes it doesn’t. That’s part of the fun. --- ● What it does ■ Draw QR codes with text - Type any phrase or sentence; the app fills the QR pattern with it. - Each character is tiled to form the overall shape of the code. - Longer sentences tend to create more interesting textures. ■ Just one button - Type. Press. Done. - The screen is simple enough that you won’t get lost. - That’s pretty much the whole app. ■ Save and share - Save your creation as an image. - Post it online, print it, or put it on a business card. - Do whatever you want with it. We take no responsibility. --- ● Notes - This app does **not** guarantee that every QR will be readable. - Do **not** use it for important purposes (tickets, payments, access control, etc.). - A code that doesn’t scan isn’t necessarily a bug. - Ads are displayed. They help keep the world running. - Results may vary depending on your device and environment. - Please enjoy everything at your own risk. --- ● Who it’s for - People who enjoy pointless things - People who like to play with words - Those looking for a slightly odd app - People who enjoy watching others’ reactions - Anyone who doesn’t take QR codes too seriously
