eSIM QR Code Generator

100% local

Create a scannable eSIM activation QR code from an LPA activation string, or from an SM-DP+ address plus its matching ID. Everything is computed in your browser — the activation code is never sent anywhere.

LPA activation string

Paste it in any shape. A missing LPA:1$ prefix, full-width characters, stray line breaks or an Apple universal link are all repaired automatically.

SM-DP+ address

The server hostname only — no https://, no port, no path.

Matching ID / activation code

Leave empty only if your provider issued a default SM-DP+ profile with no matching ID.

SM-DP+ OID (optional)

A confirmation code is required

Adds the SGP.22 confirmation-code-required flag to the activation code.

Options

Error correction

PNG size

Quiet zone (modules)

The white border around the code. Four modules is the standard minimum.

Your eSIM QR code

Scan it with the target phone, or use the buttons below.

The share link stores the activation code in the URL fragment (after #), which browsers never send to a server. Anyone with the link can install the profile, so treat it like a password.

Open on this iPhone

Uses Apple’s esimsetup.apple.com universal link. On an iPhone running iOS 17.4 or later this opens the Add eSIM flow directly; on other devices it will not do anything useful.

Worth checking

What the code contains

Your activation code never leaves this page. The only network call is an anonymous, cookieless page-view count that never sees the code. Open your browser’s developer tools and watch the Network tab if you want to confirm it.

How to use the QR code

Generate the code above and display it on a second screen, or print it.
On the phone that will use the eSIM, open the eSIM setup flow: iOS — Settings › Cellular › Add eSIM › Use QR Code. Android — Settings › Network & internet › SIMs › Add eSIM.
Point the camera at the code and follow the prompts.
If the profile needs a confirmation code, enter the code your provider gave you when asked.

Why generate the QR code yourself

Your provider only sent text. Many providers e-mail the raw LPA:1$… string and expect you to type it in by hand. A QR code is faster and avoids typos.
The original QR code is unreadable. Screenshots that have been compressed, cropped or photographed often will not scan. Re-generating from the text gives you a clean code.
You need a bigger or higher-contrast code. Pick a larger PNG or a higher error-correction level for printing.
You want a vector file. SVG scales to any size without blurring — useful for print and documentation.

Malformed codes we repair automatically
