The SMS QR Code

Scanning opens a text message to your number with the words already typed, or dials the number directly. Handy for opt-ins, competitions and contact points.

Logo

Logo rules, applied for you: the logo sits centered on a plate in the background color, never wider than 30% of the code, the error correction switches to H and the code gets at least version 5 so the data survives. The scan check then confirms it reads.

Output

Error correction lets a code survive dirt, damage or a logo: L, M, Q and H can lose 7%, 15%, 25% or 30% of the modules. Higher levels make a denser code.

How to make an SMS QR code

  1. Pick whether the scan should open a text message or call the number.
  2. Enter the phone number with its country code, and the message for an SMS.
  3. Download the PNG or SVG and put it where people can scan it.

Frequently asked questions

Does the scan send the SMS automatically?

No. It opens the messaging app with the number and text filled in; the person taps Send.

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Both camera apps recognize SMS and phone-number codes and offer to open Messages or the dialer.

Can I use a short code instead of a full number?

Yes. Type the short code as the number. Keep in mind short codes only work within their country.
