What is a WhatsApp QR code?

A WhatsApp QR code is a scannable code that opens a chat with your WhatsApp number when someone scans it with their phone camera. It encodes a wa.me click-to-chat link and can include a pre-filled message, so the customer just hits send.

Is this WhatsApp QR code generator free?

Yes, it is 100% free with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits. Generate as many QR codes as you like and use them commercially anywhere.

How do I create a WhatsApp QR code with a pre-filled message?

Enter your WhatsApp number, type the message you would like customers to send, and the QR updates instantly. When someone scans it, that message is auto-filled in their chat box and they just tap send.

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

Any WhatsApp number works, whether personal, the WhatsApp Business app, or the WhatsApp Business API. For broadcasts, chatbots and a verified green tick, you will want the WhatsApp Business API.

Where can I use my WhatsApp QR code?

Anywhere customers can see it: packaging, storefront windows, business cards, menus, flyers, posters, receipts, event booths and ad creatives. For digital placements where people can tap, a WhatsApp link usually works better.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for digital and on-screen use such as websites, social and email. Use SVG for print such as packaging, posters and business cards, because it scales to any size without going blurry.

Does the WhatsApp QR code expire?

No. The QR encodes a wa.me link tied to your number, so it stays valid for as long as that number is on WhatsApp. Print it once and reuse it for years.

Can I track scans on my WhatsApp QR code?

Not directly, because wa.me links do not expose scan analytics. To track scans, route the QR through a short-link service that records clicks before redirecting, or use a WhatsApp Business platform that captures the inbound chat.
