How to use the WhatsApp QR Code Generator
- Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code.
- Add an optional pre-filled message.
- Download the QR code as a PNG or copy the link.
How it works
The QR code encodes a wa.me link: https://wa.me/ followed by the number, with your message added as text. Scanning it opens a chat in WhatsApp. The code is drawn in your browser.
Worked example
Number 919876543210 and message “Hi” produces https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi, which opens a chat with that number and the message ready to send.
Limits and good to know
The QR code only opens a chat; the person still has to tap send. Anyone who scans it can see your number, so share it only where you want to be contacted.
Frequently asked questions
Use the country code followed by the number, digits only and no leading zero, for example 919876543210 for India.
