Client-Side Privacy & Standards Guarantee

Generated entirely in your browser. Static QR codes encode destinations directly into the matrix and never route through an intermediary redirect service or expire.

How to Use

  1. Enter the destination mobile phone number with country prefix.
  2. Optionally type a prefilled message body (e.g., 'QUOTE' or 'SUBSCRIBE').
  3. Observe the generated symbol in real-time.
  4. Download your vector SVG for printed advertisements, product packaging, or flyers.

About This Format

An SMS QR Code utilizes the standardized sms: URI scheme with query parameter support for body text. When scanned by Apple iOS or Google Android, the native Messages application opens immediately with the recipient and pre-populated message ready to send.

Validation & Technical Constraints

  • Follows RFC 5724 guidelines for the SMS URI scheme.
  • Percent-encodes spaces and punctuation in the text message body.
  • Zero server interaction: Phone numbers and messages remain 100% private.
