SMS QR Code Generator
An SMS QR code opens the scanner's messaging app with your number already entered — and, if you'd like, a starter message pre-written. It's a low-friction way to invite a text instead of a call or email.
Add your number and an optional message below to generate the code.

How to make an SMS QR code
- Enter the phone number, including the country code.
- Add the message that should be ready to send, such as a keyword or a short greeting.
- Style the code, choose a size and download it.
Tips for an SMS QR code that scans reliably
- Keep the message short and clear. It appears in the person's message box, ready to send.
- Include the country code with a leading + so the code works for anyone who scans it.
- If you use the code for marketing, make sure your text-message program follows the opt-in rules that apply where you operate.
- Test on both iPhone and Android, because messaging apps handle prefilled text slightly differently.
SMS QR code: frequently asked questions
Does scanning send the text automatically?
No. It opens the messaging app with the number and message ready. The person still taps Send.
Will it work on every phone?
Most current phones open their messaging app with the number and text filled in. A few older scanner apps may not support the format.
Can I leave the message empty?
Yes. With no message, the code just opens a new conversation with that number.
