SMS QR Code

Made from your picture, not pasted on top

An SMS QR code opens a new text message to your number, with your words already typed if you want them. AriaQR makes it from your logo or a picture, so the code on the poster, the sign or the card looks like your brand. The code is dynamic: you can change the number or the message after printing, scans are counted, and every code is tested on real decoders under real-world conditions before you download it.

Where it goes

Where people use an SMS QR code

Dealerships and showrooms

On a poster or a window sticker, so a buyer texts to book a test drive with “I’d like to book a test drive” already typed.

Clinics, salons and studios

On a reception sign or booking card, for appointment requests by text.

Property signs and flyers

On a For Sale sign, so a buyer can text the agent from the pavement.

Events and venues

On a poster or ticket, for questions, a guest-list request or a message to the organiser.

How it works

How to make an SMS QR code with your logo

  1. 1

    Upload your logo or a picture

    Your logo, a product photo or the artwork from your poster. PNG, JPEG or WebP.

  2. 2

    Choose SMS and enter your number

    Add the number with the country code, for example +1 for the United States or +44 for the United Kingdom. A message is optional.

  3. 3

    Check the verdict, then scan it

    Every code is tested before you see it. Scan it with your phone: it should open a new text to your number.

  4. 4

    Download and print

    Download the full-size file. Choose small print for cards and stickers down to about 1.5 cm; standard works from 4 cm and up.

Design tips

Getting the design right

  • Pre-fill a clear first line

    A message such as “Hi, I’d like to book a viewing” saves typing and tells you what the text is about.

  • Use a number that gets read

    A QR code for SMS only works if someone answers. Use a business line that a person on your team checks.

  • Say what happens next

    Print “Scan to text us” and your reply hours beside the code, so people know when to expect an answer.

Questions

SMS QR code questions

How does an SMS QR code work?

The code opens the messaging app on the phone with a new text to your number. If you added a message, it is already typed in.

Does the text send automatically?

No. The visitor sees the message, can change it and presses send from their own phone.

Can I change the number or message after printing?

Yes. The code is dynamic, so you can change the number or message without reprinting, and scans are counted.

Can I put my logo on an SMS QR code?

Yes, and more than a logo in the middle: AriaQR turns the whole picture into the code. Upload your logo or a photo, add your number, and you get a branded SMS code that is tested before download.
