Free SMS QR Code Generator

An SMS QR code opens the scanner's messaging app with your number in the "To" field and, optionally, a message already typed in. It's useful for opt-ins, quick questions, or any flow where a text is faster than a call or email.

How to create an SMS QR Code

1. Enter your phone number with the country code.
2. Optionally add a pre-filled message.
3. Style and download the code.

Customizing your QR code

Keep the pre-filled message short and specific: "Text YES to confirm" or "I'd like a quote" gives the recipient a clear starting point without writing their message for them.

Where to use an SMS QR Code

• An opt-in flow: "Text JOIN to subscribe."
• A quick-quote request on a service flyer.
• An RSVP shortcut for an event invitation.
• A feedback line printed on a receipt.

Testing your QR code

Before printing or publishing any QR code, test it yourself: scan it with your phone's camera from a normal viewing distance and confirm it opens the destination you intended. If you're printing it small or on a textured surface, test that exact size and material. A code that scans easily on a screen can struggle once it's shrunk onto a napkin or embossed on packaging.

Static QR codes, explained

ClearQR creates static QR codes. The information you enter (a URL, a phone number, contact details) is encoded directly into the QR code's pattern, so the generated code doesn't depend on ClearQR's servers to keep working.

The destination itself, though, still needs to remain available: if you delete the page a QR code points to, the code will still scan, but visitors will land on a dead link. If you need to change the destination later, create a new QR code; a static code can't be redirected after it's printed.
