QR Forever

No expiration date

Free SMS QR code

An SMS QR code opens a text message to your number, with the message already typed. Enter a phone number and optional text, download the code, and use it on posters, flyers, or counters. It is static and never expires; sending the text is up to the person scanning.

Preparing your design…

3MF keeps the two colors per part. Assign the filaments in your slicer; automatic assignment depends on the program. STL does not keep colors.

Customize the design

Screen colors are approximate; assign real filaments in the slicer.

Your links, images, and data (Wi-Fi, contacts, messages, events) are processed in this browser and never sent to a server. The files you download do contain the information you encode, including Wi-Fi passwords.

How to make an SMS QR code

You need the number and, if you like, the message.

1

Enter the number

Use the number that should receive the texts, ideally with the country code, such as +1 212 555 0123.

2

Write the message

Optional. A keyword like “JOIN” or “BOOK” makes it easy to process incoming texts. Keep it short.

3

Download and test

Download PNG or SVG. Test on both iPhone and Android: some phones handle text-message codes a little differently.

Texting made simple

Ideas for an SMS QR code

Sign-ups and keywords

A pre-filled keyword lets customers text a short code to your number without typing it.

Carrier fees may apply

Sending a text can cost the sender money on some plans. Mention it if you target travelers.

No server, no expiry

The number and message are inside the code. It works as long as the number does.

A permanent sign

For a counter or entrance, a printed plaque keeps the code readable for a long time.

Common questions

About SMS QR codes

What teams ask before adding one to a campaign.

Does the text send automatically?

No. The code opens the messaging app with the number and text filled in. The person must press send, which is a good thing for privacy.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Most recent phones open a draft when scanning. Compatibility varies by device and version, so scan with a few phones before printing.

Does the SMS QR code expire?

No. It is a static code with no account or redirect. If the number changes, make a new one.

How long can the message be?

The form limits it to 300 characters, but shorter makes a simpler code that scans more reliably.
