About the SMS QR Code
Text messages are how many people prefer to reach a business, enter a competition or confirm an appointment. An SMS QR code opens the messaging app with your number and, if you like, a ready-written message, so the person only has to press Send. This generator builds the SMSTO: code in your browser.
What you can do
- Enter the number that should receive the text; formatting characters are cleaned up.
- Add an optional message, such as a keyword like "JOIN" or "BOOK".
- Adjust colours and error correction level.
- Download PNG or SVG, or copy the image.
When it works best
- Text-to-join campaigns and competitions printed on posters.
- Appointment confirmations or callback requests at a service counter.
- Feedback prompts on receipts, such as "Text us your rating".
Things to know
- The code is generated locally; your number and message are not saved.
- The sender pays their normal SMS rate, and nothing is sent until they tap Send.
- Most phone cameras handle SMSTO: codes, but some older scanner apps only show the text.
- If your audience mostly uses WhatsApp, the WhatsApp QR Code tool fits better.
