How WhatsApp QR codes work
The QR encodes a wa.me link with your phone number. When scanned, it opens WhatsApp directly to a chat with you — even if the scanner doesn't have your number saved.
Use cases
- Business cards with instant chat
- Restaurant tables for ordering
- Product packaging for support
- Flyers and marketing materials

FAQ
WhatsApp QR questions
Does the scanner need to have my number saved?
No. The QR code uses WhatsApp's wa.me link format, which opens a chat directly without needing to save your contact first.
What phone number format should I use?
Include the country code (e.g., +92 for Pakistan, +1 for USA, +44 for UK). You can include spaces or dashes — they'll be cleaned automatically.
What does the pre-filled message do?
When someone scans your QR, WhatsApp opens with this message already typed. The user can edit or send it as-is. Great for "Order from menu" or "Request a quote" prompts.
Is my phone number stored on your servers?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your number is encoded directly into the QR image — we never see, store, or transmit it.
Will this work for WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The wa.me link format works for both regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business accounts. Just use your business phone number.
Is this free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermarks, no limits. We make money from non-intrusive ads.
