What this WhatsApp QR tool does
WhatsApp QR Code Generator creates a scannable QR code that opens a WhatsApp chat with the phone number you enter. You can also include a prefilled message, which is useful for business inquiries, event signups, customer support, appointment requests, restaurant orders, posters, flyers, and printed packaging.
The QR code is generated from a standard WhatsApp chat link. When someone scans it, their phone opens WhatsApp or WhatsApp Web and prepares the chat. If you added a message, the message appears ready to send, but the person still chooses whether to send it.
How to use it
Enter the WhatsApp phone number with the country code, such as a number starting with +1, +44, or +91. Add a short optional message if you want scanners to start with a clear question or request. Then choose colors, add a logo if needed, and download PNG for quick sharing or SVG for print and design work.
Useful details
WhatsApp links work best when the phone number is written in international format. Avoid spaces, brackets, and local-only leading zeros in the final number; this tool cleans the number before building the QR code, but the country code still needs to be correct. Keep prefilled messages short enough that the QR code stays easy to scan.
Privacy
The QR code is generated in your browser. The phone number, message, colors, and logo image are not uploaded by this page. The downloaded PNG or SVG is created locally on your device.
Limitations
This tool creates the QR code, but it cannot verify whether a WhatsApp account exists for the number. Scanning behavior can also depend on the device, installed apps, browser, and WhatsApp settings, so test important QR codes on a phone before printing or sharing widely.
FAQs
Does the person scanning the QR code send the message automatically?
No. The message can be prefilled, but the person still controls whether to send it.
Can I add a logo?
Yes. Keep the logo small and use the strongest error correction option for safer scanning.
Should I use PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for quick uploads and messages. Use SVG when the QR code needs to stay sharp in posters, cards, or design files.
Why is the country code important?
WhatsApp chat links need an international phone number. Without the country code, scanners in different countries may not reach the right chat.
