The short answer
The code holds whatever text you type. To share Wi-Fi, type it in this form: WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; and phones will offer to join. A phone number can be written as tel:+91 and the number, and a note is just plain words.
Anyone who scans the code will see this.
Higher levels still scan if the code is dirty or covered a little.
Your QR code appears here as you type.
Everything runs in your browser. What you type is not sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Wi-Fi QR code safe to print?
Anyone who scans it can join your network, so print it only for a guest network or a place you control. Change the password if it gets shared by mistake.
How much text can the code hold?
A few hundred characters scan comfortably. The more you add, the denser and harder to scan the code becomes, so keep it short.
