WhatsApp Link Generator: Create wa.me Link and QR Code
Type a phone number, add a message if you want, and tap Create. You get a wa.me link that opens a WhatsApp chat with that number, plus a QR code you can download and print. Nobody has to save your number first. Everything runs in your browser, so the number you type is never sent to us.
How to create a WhatsApp link
- Pick the country code. India (+91) is already selected.
- Type the mobile number without the leading 0. Spaces and dashes are fine, the tool removes them.
- Add a message if you want the chat to start with ready text, like “Hi, I want to order a cake”.
- Tap Create WhatsApp link, then copy the link or download the QR code.
- Tap Test in WhatsApp once to check that it opens the right chat.
What a wa.me link looks like
WhatsApp’s own click to chat feature uses one simple format: https://wa.me/ followed by the full number in international format. That means the country code and the number together, with no plus sign, no leading zero, no brackets and no dashes.
| What you want | Link format | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Open a chat with a number | wa.me/number | https://wa.me/919876543210 |
| Open a chat with ready text | wa.me/number?text=message | https://wa.me/919876543210?text=Hi%20there |
| Let people choose the contact | wa.me/?text=message | https://wa.me/?text=Check%20this%20out |
The message part has to be URL encoded, which is why a space turns into %20. The tool does this for you, including Hindi text and emoji.
Where to use your WhatsApp link and QR code
- Instagram bio: paste the link in your bio or in a link button so followers can message you in one tap.
- Shop counter or menu card: print the QR code. Customers scan it with the phone camera and the chat opens.
- Visiting cards and posters: a QR code is easier than asking people to type and save a 10 digit number.
- Facebook page, YouTube description, email signature: anywhere a normal link works.
- Online orders: add a ready message like “I want to order” so you know where the chat came from.
Tips that save you trouble
- Always test the link once on your own phone before you print it.
- Keep the ready message short. A long message still works in the link, but the QR code gets dense and older phone cameras take longer to read it.
- Print the QR code at least 2 cm wide and leave a white border around it.
- A wa.me link shows your number to anyone who opens it. Use a business number if you post it in public.
