WhatsApp QR code generator

Turn your WhatsApp number into a QR code customers can scan to open a chat instantly — no saving your number, no typing. Add a pre-filled message so you know what they are asking about before they even send it. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is stored.

A 10-digit number is treated as Indian (+91). For any other country, include the country code — for example 44 7700 900123.

This text appears already typed in the customer's chat box. They still have to press send.

Enter a number to generate your QR code.

What happens after they scan

A QR gets the conversation started. What decides whether it turns into money is what happens in the next thirty seconds — whether anyone replies, and whether the enquiry becomes a record rather than a chat that scrolls away. That is the gap between a free QR code and a WhatsApp Business API setup where the reply is automatic and the enquiry becomes a CRM contact.

Also useful: the wa.me link generator for the same thing as a clickable link, and the cost calculator if you are working out what messaging at volume would cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is this WhatsApp QR code generator free?

Yes, completely, with no signup and no email required. The QR is generated in your browser and the number you enter is never sent to a server.

Does the QR code expire?

No. It encodes a standard wa.me link, so it works for as long as that WhatsApp number is active. You can print it on signage or packaging without worrying about it going dead.

Can I add a message that fills in automatically?

Yes. Anything you enter as the pre-filled message appears already typed in the customer's chat box when they scan. They still have to press send, which is a WhatsApp rule, not a limitation of this tool.

Where should I put a WhatsApp QR code?

Anywhere a customer already has their phone out: table tents and menus, shop counters, packaging inserts, invoices, delivery notes, business cards, event stalls and print ads. Pair it with a short instruction such as "Scan to order on WhatsApp" — a bare QR gets far fewer scans.

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API to use a QR code?

No. A QR works with any WhatsApp number, including the free WhatsApp Business app. The API becomes relevant when you need several people answering that number, automated replies, or broadcasts.
