What Are the 4 Modes?

All OshiQR QR codes are made of text characters, but the type of characters used affects appearance and size.

Compact (■□)

The smallest display mode. Uses fewer characters, making it ideal for SNS profiles and email signatures where character limits apply.

Emoji

Customize with any emoji. The most visually striking mode — great for fan activities and SNS posts. Pairs perfectly with fan color customization.

Half-block (▀▄)

High-resolution block elements. The most stable display in monospace font environments like terminals and GitHub READMEs. Best for developers.

Classic (██)

Bold, simple display. Traditional ASCII art style that's relatively readable in any environment.

Recommended Modes by Use Case

  • SNS posts & fan activities → Emoji mode
  • SNS profiles & email signatures → Compact mode
  • GitHub README & terminal → Half-block mode
  • Keep it simple → Classic mode

Choosing Tips

Appearance varies between monospace and proportional fonts. Always preview before posting.

Longer URLs create larger QR codes. Using URL shortening is recommended.
