How to use the SMS QR Code Generator

- Type the message to prefill.
- Download the QR code as PNG or SVG.
Tips
Use the full international number (e.g. +1 555 123 4567) so it works for visitors from other countries. Keep the message short — a keyword like “JOIN” is enough. For chats instead of texts, see the WhatsApp QR Code Generator.

Can I install SMS QR Code Generator as a web app and use it offline?
Yes. SMS QR Code Generator is an installable web app (PWA) — installed from your browser, not downloaded from an app store. Click Install app at the top of this page in Chrome or Edge (Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS) or on Android, use Share → Add to Home Screen on iPhone and iPad, or File → Add to Dock in Safari 17+ on a Mac. It then opens in its own window with its own icon, and because it runs entirely in your browser it keeps working offline. Firefox on desktop can’t install web apps. How installing works.
