Phone QR Code Generator
Encode a phone number so a scan starts a call.
What is a phone QR code?
A phone QR code encodes a telephone number using the tel: scheme. Scanning it prompts the phone to dial, so customers can call you without keying in digits.
How to create one
Enter the country code and number, plus an optional extension. We remove unnecessary characters while preserving meaning, and show a preview so you can confirm the number before generating.
How tel links work
The code doesn't place a call on its own — it opens the dialer with the number ready. The person still taps to call, keeping them in control.
Where to use it
Perfect for service vans, real-estate signs, business cards and posters where a one-tap call improves response rates.
Privacy and security
The number is encoded locally and never uploaded. Because it only pre-fills the dialer, it can't call anyone automatically.
Limitations
Extensions aren't dialed consistently across carriers. Devices without a phone app (some tablets) may not act on a tel link.
Frequently asked questions
Will it call automatically?
No. It opens the dialer with the number pre-filled; the user taps to call.
Can I add an extension?
Yes, but note that extension dialing behaviour varies by carrier and phone.
Should I include the country code?
Yes, especially if callers may be international. Add the leading + and country code.
