SMS QR Code Generator

What is an SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code encodes a phone number and an optional message using the SMSTO format. When someone scans it with their phone camera, their default messaging app opens with a new text message already addressed to your number, ready to send.

How it works

Enter your phone number with country code, and optionally a message, then generate a QR code. Scanning it opens the visitor's messaging app with a new SMS pre-filled and addressed to your number, no manual typing required.
