Scan & Generate
Free WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Enter your WhatsApp number and an optional message to create a click-to-chat QR code. Anyone who scans it opens a chat with you instantly — no saving your number first.
Enter the number in full international format, without the +, spaces, or leading zeros (e.g. country code 1 + 5551234567).
How a WhatsApp QR Code Works
A WhatsApp QR code encodes a click-to-chat link in the format https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message>. When someone scans it, WhatsApp opens a new chat with your number — and your pre-filled message ready to send. They don't need to save your contact first.
It works with any personal or WhatsApp Business number worldwide. Over 200 million businesses now use WhatsApp Business monthly, and a QR code is the simplest bridge from a poster, flyer, or shop window straight into a conversation.
Common uses
- Storefronts & flyers — let customers message you with one scan
- Customer support — put it on packaging or receipts for quick help
- Lead capture — pre-fill a message like "I'm interested in…"
- Events — collect enquiries without handing out your number
