WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Generate a wa.me QR — scan opens a WhatsApp chat with you, optionally pre-filled.
How do WhatsApp QR codes work?
A WhatsApp QR is just a URL QR pointing at a wa.me/<phone> link — when scanned, it opens WhatsApp (mobile or desktop) directly into a chat with the encoded phone number, optionally with a pre-filled draft message ready to send. wa.me is the official WhatsApp-owned short link, so this works whether the recipient has WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, or WhatsApp Web. Encoding runs entirely in your browser.
