SMS QR Code Generator

Use this page when you want a scan to open the phone's SMS app with a number already filled in and, if useful, a starter message as well. That makes SMS QR codes practical for short support flows, quick responses, event check-ins, or simple operational tasks where typing is friction. PlainQR keeps the workflow static and local: no saved drafts, no QR management layer, and no analytics tied to the message. You build the payload in the browser, verify the preview, and export the QR code as SVG or PNG.

FAQ

Short answers to the practical questions people usually ask before they download.

Is the message sent automatically?
No. The QR code opens the SMS app with the fields filled in, and the user decides whether to send the message.
Can I leave the message empty?
Yes. Only the phone number is required. The message field is optional.
Does PlainQR store SMS content?
No. SMS QR payloads are generated locally in the browser and are not stored by the app.
