SMS QR code
SMS QR codes — pre-fill a text message with one scan
Encode a phone number and a ready-to-send message into a QR code. Someone scans it and their messaging app opens with the text already written — they just press send. Free, no sign-up, generated in your browser.

Want to track scans? A SMScode is static — the details live in the code itself, so there's nothing to phone home. KeptQR's dynamic URL codes show you every scan. And you can sign up free to save and organize the codes you make here.
What people use SMS codes for
Text-to-join
On a poster or flyer, open a message pre-filled with your keyword — “JOIN” — so people opt in with one tap instead of typing.
Quick support & booking
Let customers text you to ask a question or request a time, with the number and a starter line already in place.
Feedback & check-ins
Put it where people are — a table, a kiosk, a job site — to start a quick text without them hunting for your number.
Questions
What does an SMS QR code do?
It opens the phone's messaging app with your number — and an optional message — already filled in. The person just presses send.
Can I pre-write the message?
Yes. Set a starting message, like a keyword or a short question, and it'll be ready to send. The person can edit it first.
Does this SMS QR code expire?
No. The number and message are encoded in the code itself, so it works forever — free, with no account.
Will scanning it cost anything?
Sending the text uses the person's normal carrier messaging rates — the same as any text they send. The QR code itself just opens the draft.
