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.

No. wa.me works with both personal WhatsApp accounts and WhatsApp Business. The QR opens to whichever WhatsApp app the recipient has installed.
