How to use it
Make a WhatsApp QR code in 3 steps
- 1. Add your number. Choose your country and type the WhatsApp number without the country code.
- 2. Pick a message and size. Add a pre-filled message if you want one, and choose the image size.
- 3. Download and test. Download the PNG or SVG, then scan it with your phone before you print.
Where to use a WhatsApp QR code
- On the shop counter or billing desk
- On restaurant tables and menus
- On flyers, posters and banners
- On visiting cards and brochures
- On product packaging and invoices
- At event stalls and exhibitions
A QR code is also a good way to collect permission. When a customer scans it and sends the first message, they have chosen to talk to you. Read more in how to collect WhatsApp opt-in consent.
Tips for a QR code that scans every time
- Keep strong contrast. A dark code on a light background scans best.
- Do not remove the blank border. It helps phones find the code.
- Print it large enough. About 2 x 2 cm is a sensible minimum for close scanning. Make it bigger for posters.
- Test before printing. Scan it with an Android phone and an iPhone.
- Add a short label. "Scan to chat on WhatsApp" tells people what the code does.
- Choose SVG for big prints. It stays sharp at any size.

Is the WhatsApp QR code generator free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.
Does the QR code expire?
No. The QR code simply contains your wa.me link, so it keeps working for as long as that number is active on WhatsApp.
Can I change the message later?
The message is part of the QR code. If you change it, you need a new QR code. Leave the message empty if you do not want to reprint later.
Do you store my number or message?
No. The QR code is created in your browser. Your number and message are never sent to our servers.
Should I download PNG or SVG?
PNG is fine for screens, social posts and small prints. Choose SVG for large prints such as posters and banners, because it stays sharp at any size.
Will it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The code opens a chat with the number you entered, whether it is a WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business number.
