How to Create an SMS QR Code

An SMS QR Code allows you to instantly share a pre-written text message and destination phone number with anyone who scans the QR code. Instead of manually typing out phone numbers and message content, users can simply scan the QR code with their smartphone to automatically open their messaging app with the details pre-filled and ready to send.

With QR DM, you can enter your SMS details, customize the appearance of your QR Code, and download it in your preferred format within minutes. Follow this guide to learn How to Create an SMS QR Code.

Step 1: Select the SMS QR Code Type

Begin by selecting SMS from the list of available QR code types. This opens the SMS Data section where you can enter the recipient phone number and message details.

In the Phone Number field, enter the destination phone number including the country code. In the Message field, enter your desired text message (up to 300 characters). Once entered, your message details are ready to be converted into a QR Code.

Step 2: Customize Your SMS QR Code

After entering your SMS details, you can personalize the appearance of your QR Code to match your brand or design preferences.

The available customization options include:

QR Color - Choose the color of your QR Code using the color picker or by entering a hexadecimal color code.
Background Color - Select a background color that provides strong contrast for optimal scanning.
Pattern Style - Select your preferred QR pattern design from:
- Dots
- Rounded Dots
- Squares
- Rounded Squares
- Pixel
Eye Style - Choose the corner marker style:
- Square
- Rounded
- Soft

These customization options help create a visually appealing SMS QR Code while ensuring reliable scan performance.

Step 3: Upload a Logo (Optional)

To make your SMS QR Code more recognizable, you can add your company or brand logo.

The logo upload section supports PNG and JPG image formats with a maximum file size of 2 MB. After uploading your logo, use the size slider to adjust its size so it fits neatly within the center of the QR Code without affecting scan accuracy.

Step 4: Preview and Download Your SMS QR Code

Before downloading, review your QR Code in the Preview section to ensure everything appears correctly.

If you want the flexibility to update the linked details later without changing the QR Code, enable the Make QR Dynamic option.

Next, choose your preferred download format:

SVG
JPEG
Transparent

Finally, click Save to Dashboard to save your SMS QR Code and download it for use in print or digital materials.
