SMS QR Code Generator
QR that opens the recipient's SMS app with a pre-filled message ready to send.
How does an SMS QR code work?
An SMS QR code encodes either the SMSTO: scheme (Android-friendly, format SMSTO:number:message) or sms: scheme (iOS-friendly, format sms:number?body=message) — when scanned, the user's default SMS app opens with the recipient and message pre-filled, ready to tap Send. Use this to drive opt-ins, support requests, or order confirmations from print materials. Modern QR readers detect both schemes automatically. Encoding happens browser-side — your message data stays on your device.
