How to create one
- Enter the phone number people should text, including the country code.
- Optionally add a prefilled message so the draft is ready to send.
- Download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF and scan it to test before printing.
Tips for reliable scans
- Use an international format for the number (for example +1 555 010 1234).
- Keep the prefilled message short — it makes the code less dense and easier to scan.
- SMS behavior varies by device; test on both iPhone and Android before printing.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I make a QR code that just calls a phone number?
- Yes. Switch the generator to the Phone tab to create a QR code that starts a call instead of a text message. Both are static and free.
- Does the SMS send automatically when scanned?
- No. Scanning opens a text message draft to your number. The person scanning reviews it and presses send themselves.
- Why does nothing happen when some phones scan it?
- Some camera apps display the encoded text instead of acting on it, and a device needs a working messaging plan. Test on the devices your audience uses.
- Can I change the number after printing?
- No. The number is stored inside the code. Generate and print a new code if the number changes.
