WhatsApp QR code generator
Customers point their camera at the code and a WhatsApp chat with your business opens, with your message already typed. For menus, shopfronts, flyers, packaging, event booths and business cards.
The customer sees this typed into their chat and can edit it before sending.
Enter a number to build your link.
How it works
The code holds a WhatsApp click-to-chat link: https://wa.me/, your number in international format, and the pre-filled message. Nothing sits between the scan and the chat, so there is no redirect service to go down and no scan limit. If you only need the link, use the WhatsApp link generator.
Getting more out of printed codes
- Use a different pre-filled message for each place the code appears (“Hi, I scanned the code on your menu”) and you will know which one works.
- Print it at least 2 cm wide, dark on a light background, with a white border.
- Say what happens when people scan it: “Scan to order on WhatsApp” beats a bare code.
WhatsApp QR code questions
- How do I make a QR code for my WhatsApp number?
- Enter your number and an optional pre-filled message above. The generator builds a wa.me click-to-chat link and encodes it as a QR code you can download as PNG or SVG. Scanning it with a phone camera opens a WhatsApp chat with your number.
- Does a WhatsApp QR code expire?
- Not this kind. The code only contains a wa.me link, so it works for as long as the number is on WhatsApp. Changing the pre-filled message means generating and printing a new code.
- Is this the same as the QR code inside the WhatsApp Business app?
- It does the same job, opening a chat with your business, but you control it: you choose the pre-filled message, can make one per campaign, and get a print-quality SVG. It also works for numbers on the WhatsApp Business Platform (API), which do not use the app.
- Which file should I use for printing?
- The SVG. It is a vector file, so it stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a shop window. Use the PNG for websites, social posts and slides. Keep a white margin around the code and test the printed proof with a phone before a full print run.
- Is it free, and do you store my number?
- It is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The code is generated in your browser; the number and message are never sent to our servers.
