What is an SMS QR Code?

An SMS QR code encodes a link that opens the default SMS app with a phone number and optional message already filled in. The user taps send—or edits the message first—and the text goes out.

This is useful for campaigns, feedback requests, support hotlines, and anywhere you want to lower friction for sending a text.

Best Practices

Include the country code for international compatibility. Keep the pre-filled message short and actionable (e.g., "Yes, sign me up" or "I need help with my order").

Use on posters, receipts, packaging, and ads. The QR code works on any smartphone with a camera and messaging app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can create as many QR codes as you need at no cost. No sign-up, no account, and no premium tier. We keep the tool free and simple.

Static QR codes (like the ones we generate) last forever. The data is encoded directly into the image, so as long as the code is intact and the destination URL or content still exists, it will continue to work. There is no expiration date.

Static QR codes encode the data directly. The URL or text is fixed in the image. They are free, simple, and never expire. Dynamic QR codes encode a short redirect URL that points to a server. You can change where that redirect goes without reprinting the code, and you can track scans. Dynamic codes usually require a paid service.

Yes, the QR codes you generate here are safe to use. We do not store the text or URLs you encode. Your input is sent to our server only to generate the QR image and is not saved, logged, or shared. Once the image is sent back to you, that data is discarded.

Common reasons and fixes: Too small - make the QR code at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) per side for print, or 200×200 pixels for digital use. Poor contrast - use dark modules on a light background. Damaged or obscured - avoid covering the code with text, logos, or folds. Wrong URL - double-check the link before generating.
