Share a Message Page with Text, an Image and a Button
A message QR code opens a page hosted by QR Code AI. Write your message, add an optional heading and image, then include a button if readers need a next step. The visitor reads the page in a browser; no chat is started and no message is sent on their behalf.
For example, place a welcome card in a parcel with care instructions and a button to your support page. A gift card can reveal a personal note and photo. Update the hosted message behind the same QR code when the information changes. Visitors need internet access to open this hosted page; choose the plain-text QR type for text encoded directly in the symbol.
Write the content readers should see, customize the QR design, then test the page before sharing it.
Select Message and enter your text. Add a heading or image if useful. For a button, supply the destination address and a label that explains what opens. Check both the message and the button in the preview.
Choose colors and add your logo, or start from a design template. Keep the code distinct from its background and use the scannability result to check your design before printing.
Download the code in a format suited to your card, label or screen. Scan the final file on the phones your audience uses, read the hosted message and test its button. Recheck a printed sample at the intended size.
Keep the same printed code while maintaining its hosted content. Separate the message itself from the optional action you offer readers.
Use scan counts and device or location breakdowns to compare your message campaigns. These analytics measure connected scans; they do not prove that a visitor read the whole message or clicked its button.
A Smart Link with the Message destination can also host a message page for readers who will tap a link. Choose QR codes for printed touchpoints and a short link for clickable digital sharing.
Add your logo and colors or use QR Code Art for an illustrated design. Browse design templates, then test the selected result in its final printed or digital setting.
A WhatsApp QR opens a chat destination. A Message QR displays your hosted text and image. Choose WhatsApp when you want readers to start a conversation.

An SMS QR prepares a text-message draft in a compatible messaging app. A Message QR shows a web page and does not send a text message.
Open the SMS draft
An Email QR prepares an email draft. Use it when you want a reply by email; use Message to display information before offering an optional next action.

A Telegram QR opens a Telegram destination such as a profile or invitation. The hosted Message page is useful when your reader only needs to read information in a browser.
Open Telegram chat
A vCard QR carries contact details for a compatible address book. A Message page is suited to a note, instructions or a welcome message with an optional image.
Save a contact card
A URL QR opens a web page that already exists elsewhere. Choose Message when you want to enter and host the message in QR Code AI itself.

Choose Message in QR Code AI, write the text and optionally add a heading, image and button. Customize the code, then scan the downloaded file to check the page. For a welcome card, try a short greeting, a product photo and a button labeled Care instructions that opens your own guide.
A Message QR displays a hosted page in the browser. An SMS QR prepares a text-message draft for a phone number; the visitor still chooses whether to send it. The SMS URI specification describes that separate messaging behavior. Use the dedicated SMS generator when your goal is a text reply.
You can create QR codes within the free creation limits. A seven-day trial starts with the first QR code or Smart Link created in your personal account or Workspace; the two have separate allowances and trials. After the trial, Premium is needed to keep connected destinations and their paid features active. Direct QR types, such as plain text or WiFi, retain their encoded data independently of the redirect service. Reaching a creation limit prevents additional creation; it does not erase the data in an already printed direct QR code.
You can edit the hosted message behind its managed address without changing the printed QR code. Check the updated page and its button after saving. This differs from a plain-text QR code, whose text is encoded directly in the symbol and requires a new code when the text changes.
The Message editor provides one optional action button. It is not a multi-app chooser. If you already have a page with several contact buttons, create a URL QR for that page; use the WhatsApp or Telegram generator for a specific messaging destination.
The hosted message needs internet access because the scan opens a web page. For an offline note, select Plain Text so the text is stored directly in the QR code. The scanner must support displaying plain text; images and web buttons belong to the hosted Message page.
