I recall that QR only support data up to 3KB, so your option is either.
1. Store the transaction to file and use other means (such as USB drive) to transfer it to the online device.
2. Make several smaller transaction instead, although you pay more for TX fee.

If you're advance user, you could get the raw transaction, split into several parts and use it to generate multiple QR code. On the online device, you need to scan multiple parts and reconstruct the raw transaction manually.

The second one is the only one that is feasible if you want to scan the QR code using a hardware wallet.

The first option of storing it in a text format of some sort and using USBs is only practical for desktop wallets or anything else on the PC. Or maybe in the case of your phone having a USB-C port and you can read data from that, but it's not useful for mobile wallets with scan functionality built-in at all.

i dont know what to do pls help me

Can you give us a little more detail about your setup and how you usually sign your transactions? I'm assuming you're using some form of offline signing device, like a hardware wallet, right?

The warning message you're getting suggests that the transaction data is too complex to fit into a QR code. This is a common issue when dealing with large transactions with many inputs. Basically, you have two options. You can either try an alternative way to sign the transaction, like others have already suggested. Or, you can create a new transaction using fewer inputs so the data fits in the QR code.

Which of the two options suits you better depends on your your setup and your specific situation.

hi when i want to send btc this error show  Data too big for QR and this 2 messege  show below:
Let me get this straight, are you aware that you're using a "watching-only wallet"?
Because those message and warning (not errors) will only appear if the wallet doesn't have private keys.

If you know, then the reason is already self-explanatory within the warning message.
If you're not aware, please tell us how you created the wallet.

This is error is as a result of large transaction details that mostly is gotten when the input and output is much and QR code cannot fit in all the data. So you can either use the text method to sign the transaction or better still reduce the input or output of the transaction. The input can be reduce using the coin control method.

On Electrum, if you use the file sharing or the copy and paste method, it would also work.

For the QR code method. If you can be able to use Sparrow wallet, use it on the signing device instead. If you use Sparrow on the signing device, it will work.

hi when i want to send btc this error show  Data too big for QR and this 2 messege  show below:

1-transaction created .present this QR code to the signing device

2-warning : some data (prev txs / *full utxos) was left out of the Qr code as it would not fit .this might cause issues if signing offline .as a workaround , copy to clipboard or use the share option instead.

i dont know what to do pls help me
