WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Start a WhatsApp chat with a pre-filled message.
What is a WhatsApp QR code?
A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat with a specific number, optionally with a message already typed. It uses the public wa.me link format, so scanning starts a conversation instantly.
How to create one
Enter the country code and phone number and, if you like, a pre-filled message. We remove symbols from the number (WhatsApp needs digits only) and URL-encode the message so it appears correctly.
How the link works
The code opens WhatsApp (or the web version) to a chat with your number. The sender still presses send, so they choose whether to start the conversation.
Where to use it
Use it on shopfronts, product packaging, ads and support pages to let customers reach you on WhatsApp without saving your number first.
Privacy and security
The number and message are encoded locally and never uploaded. This is an independent tool that uses WhatsApp's public link format.
Limitations
The recipient must have WhatsApp installed. Pre-filled messages can be edited or removed by the sender before sending.
