An SMS QR code opens the scanner's messaging app with your phone number and message already filled in — all they do is tap send. That makes it a low-friction way to collect opt-ins, contest entries, and service requests from posters, stickers, and packaging. Your QR is dynamic, so you can change the number or message later without reprinting anything.

Download and put it to work
Create your free account when you hit Generate, then download your QR as PNG, SVG, or PDF. Edit the number or message and see scan counts from your dashboard.
Edit after printing
Your QR points to a short link, not the raw text message. Change the phone number or pre-filled message anytime — the printed code keeps working.
Count every scan
Your dashboard shows how many people scanned, so you know which sticker, poster, or flyer actually drives texts.
One tap to text
Scanning opens the messaging app with everything pre-filled. No typing your number wrong, no friction — people just hit send.
Frequently asked questions
Is this SMS QR code generator really free?+
Yes. The free plan includes 5 dynamic QR codes at no cost, and free QR codes never expire. Creating an account takes seconds when you hit Generate, and from your dashboard you can edit the number or message and see scan analytics.
Can I change the phone number or message after printing?+
Yes. These are dynamic QR codes: the printed code points to a short link, and you control where it goes. From your dashboard you can update the number or pre-filled text anytime without reprinting.
What happens when someone scans an SMS QR code?+
Their phone opens its default messaging app with your number and message already filled in. They can edit the text if they want, then tap send. Nothing is sent automatically — the scanner always confirms.
Does the person scanning pay for the text message?+
The message is sent from their phone, so their normal SMS rates apply. For most people on modern plans, texts are included. If you run opt-in campaigns, it is good practice to mention that message rates may apply.
Can I use an SMS QR code for opt-in or keyword campaigns?+
Yes, that is one of the most common uses. Pre-fill the keyword your SMS platform expects, like JOIN or ENTER, so subscribers do not mistype it. If your keyword or short code changes later, you can update the QR without reprinting your materials.
How do I track scans of my SMS QR code?+
Every SMS QR code you generate is saved to your dashboard, where you can see how many times it has been scanned. That tells you which placements — stickers, posters, packaging — are working.
