WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Generate a QR code that, when scanned, opens a WhatsApp conversation directly with your number, with an optional predefined message already written in. Useful for letting customers contact you without having to save your number in their contacts.
How it works
- Enter your WhatsApp number including the country code, with no spaces, plus signs, or leading zeros.
- Optionally, write a predefined message that will already be loaded when the other person scans the code.
- The QR code is generated instantly using the standard wa.me link.
- Download the PNG and place it in your store, website, card, or promotional materials.
Use cases
- Receiving customer inquiries from a physical store without publishing your number directly.
- Adding a quick WhatsApp contact button on signs, menus, or packaging.
- Making reservations or orders easier with a predefined message already written for the customer.
- Including a direct contact channel on business cards or marketing materials.

Common mistakes
- Entering the number with the + symbol or with the national dialing 0 included.The wa.me link needs only digits: the country code followed by the number, with no +, spaces, or local dialing zeros.
- Forgetting the country code and entering only the local number.Without the country code, WhatsApp can't identify which number it corresponds to. Check your country's code (for example, 52 for Mexico, 54 for Argentina) before generating the QR code.
- Writing a predefined message that's too specific, with details that change often, like a date.The message stays fixed in the printed QR code. Use a generic, reusable message, not one with details that will become outdated.
