Use a message QR code to drop scanners straight into a messaging app conversation from any phone camera. The code encodes a deep-link URL routing to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Messages, Viber, Line or WeChat. Scanners land on the messaging app of choice with the conversation pre-routed. For SMS-based routing, the QR encodes the sms URI scheme defined in RFC 5724. Phone-number deep-links follow the tel URI scheme per RFC 3966.

Print on customer-support cards, sales decks, yard signs, table tents, business cards, healthcare forms, banking statements, event lanyards and community-channel posters routing scanners to multi-platform messaging conversations.
Pick the platform deep-link, brand the code with your logo and AI-generated designs, then download in PNG, SVG or PDF for support cards, sales decks, business cards or community posters.
Decide which messaging app matches your audience. WhatsApp suits international support. Messenger suits domestic-US bookings. Signal suits healthcare. Copy the deep-link URL such as wa.me, m.me, t.me or discord.gg with your phone or invite code.
Add your logo, brand colors and pixel patterns. Pick from 1200+ templates or generate AI-generated designs matching your support card, sales pitch deck, real-estate yard sign, table tent or healthcare intake form aesthetic.
Export in PNG, SVG or PDF. Print on support cards, sales decks, yard signs, table tents, business cards, healthcare forms, banking statements or event lanyards. Test the scan across iOS and Android before production volume.

The generated QR routes scanners directly into the conversation on iOS or Android with the message draft ready to send.
A message QR can target any messaging platform (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, Discord, Signal, iMessage, Line), each with its own deep-link URL that opens the right conversation. An SMS QR uses the sms: URI scheme (sms:[number]?body=[text]) and opens the phone's native SMS app, no third-party install needed. Pick message QR for app-installed audiences, SMS QR for the broadest reach since every phone ships with SMS support.
Yes. message QR codes are free on QR Code AI. Generate, customize with your logo, brand colors and AI-designed templates, then download in PNG, SVG or PDF without watermarks. Most message QR codes are custom by default, which means the destination stays created again when changes are needed and every scan is validated in your workspace with country, device, browser and timestamp data, useful for measuring campaign reach by generating a new file.
WhatsApp supports the wa.me phone text format for pre-filled messages. Telegram supports the t.me share URL text parameter syntax. Most messaging-app deep-links accept message-prefill parameters specific to their platform implementation. Check the official documentation for the exact deep-link syntax that supports message pre-fill on each individual platform you target.
Build a landing page with platform-pick buttons for WhatsApp, Messenger, Signal, Telegram, Discord and any others your audience uses, then encode the landing-page URL as a regular URL QR. Scanners land on the chooser page and pick their preferred messaging platform. This pattern serves audiences across regional and platform preferences.
Scanning a QR code from a text message depends on where the QR appears. On iPhone, save the QR image to Photos, open it, then long-press the code: iOS Live Text detects the QR and offers an Open Link action (iOS 15+). On Android, take a screenshot of the message, open it in Google Photos, then tap the Google Lens icon to detect the QR and follow the link. If the QR is on another screen, point your camera at it directly to scan.
