What is a WhatsApp link (wa.me / click-to-chat link)?

A WhatsApp link is a short URL in the format https://wa.me/ that opens a chat with a specific WhatsApp number the moment someone taps it — no need to save the contact first. You can also attach a pre-filled message so the customer just hits send.

Is this WhatsApp link generator really free?

Yes. Generating links and QR codes is completely free, with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermark. It runs entirely in your browser — we never see or store your number or message.

How do I add a pre-filled message to my WhatsApp link?

Type your message in the 'Pre-filled message' box. We URL-encode it and append it as ?text=... to your wa.me link, so when a customer opens the chat the message is already typed and ready to send.

Does it work for a normal WhatsApp number or only WhatsApp Business?

Both. A wa.me link works with any WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business number. Just enter the number with the correct country code — without the leading 0.

Where can I use my WhatsApp link?

Anywhere you can place a link or image: Instagram and TikTok bios, your website's chat button, email signatures, Google Business Profile, Facebook & Instagram ads (Click-to-WhatsApp), and as a printed QR code on flyers, packaging, or your storefront.

How is the QR code useful?

The QR code encodes the same link. Print it on offline material — when someone scans it with their phone camera, WhatsApp opens with your pre-filled message ready to send. Great for shops, restaurants, and events.

Why isn't my number working in the link?

Enter the number in full international format using the country selector, and drop the leading 0. For example, an Indian number 098765 43210 becomes country +91 and number 9876543210.

Can I send bulk messages or broadcasts with this link?

A wa.me link starts one chat at a time. To send bulk broadcasts, run campaigns, build chatbots, or auto-reply, you'll need the official WhatsApp Business API — which is exactly what Splashify Pro provides. Start a free trial to scale beyond single links.
