Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code, and a first message if you like, and download a QR code that opens a chat with you when it is scanned. Put it on a shop board, a visiting card or a poster so customers can message you without saving your number.
Made on your device: nothing is uploaded or saved. Free, with no sign-up.
Fill in the details and your QR code appears here.
Scan the code with your phone before you print it or share it. It is made on your device, and nothing you type is sent or saved anywhere.
Print it on a shop sign for orders and questions, on a visiting card, on a flyer, or on the packaging of a product for support. Add a first message that says what the person wants, such as "Order for table 5" or "Price list please", so every chat starts with something useful.
With the country code and without a leading zero or plus sign: for an Indian number 98765 43210, type 91 98765 43210. The page tells you if the country code is missing.
When someone scans the code, WhatsApp opens a chat with your number and the message already typed in, for example "Hello, I want to order". They only have to press send. Leave it empty to open a blank chat.
Yes. The code is an ordinary wa.me chat link, which opens in WhatsApp and in WhatsApp Business alike.
Yes: the chat opens with your number, so anyone who scans the code can message it and see it. Use a number you are happy to share.
No. The QR code is drawn in your browser from what you type, and nothing is sent to a server or stored, not even in your browser. Close the tab and it is gone, so download the code before you leave.
No. The code holds the information itself, so it works for as long as that information is right: a link that is still live, a Wi-Fi password that has not changed. There is no account behind it and no tracking, so it cannot be switched off.
PNG is a picture that works everywhere: use it for documents, social media and messages. SVG stays perfectly sharp at any size, so use it for banners, boards and anything printed large. Choose the Print size for PNG if you will print it.
At least 2 by 2 centimetres, and bigger if people will scan from a distance (about one tenth of the distance). Keep the white border around the code, and print dark squares on a light background. Always scan the printed code with a phone before you use it.
A QR code carries extra data so it can still be read when part of it is dirty or damaged. Higher levels survive more damage but make the code denser, with smaller squares. Medium suits almost everything; choose High for a print that may get scuffed.
