QR code generator WhatsApp
WhatsApp QR code generator
Paste your WhatsApp link and download a free code that never expires. Or make it art and dynamic: change the link after printing and see every scan.
Your WhatsApp link is wa.me/ followed by your full number with country code, no + or spaces.
Make it art and keep it editable
The free code above prints your link as-is. With Art QR Codes you get a painted code that three decoders test before you see it, a link you can change after printing, and a count of every scan.
Tips for WhatsApp codes
- Add ?text= to pre-fill a message, for example wa.me/15551234567?text=Hi
- Print at least 1 in wide for arm's length, 2 in on tables, 8 in or more on signs read from a distance.

WhatsApp QR codes: the facts
- What the code holds
- A click-to-chat link: wa.me/15551234567, the full number with country code (1 for the US) and no plus sign, spaces or dashes. Add ?text= to pre-write the first message.
- Print size
- 1 in on cards, 2 in on counter signs, 4 in on window signs.
- Scan distance
- In hand for cards; 3 to 4 ft for signs.
- What breaks it
- Leaving out the country code or keeping the leading zero, and numbers not registered on WhatsApp. Test the link yourself before printing.
Questions
What number format does WhatsApp need?
The full international number without + or spaces: a US number (555) 123-4567 becomes 15551234567.
Can the code pre-fill a message?
Yes. Add ?text= and your words to the link (for example wa.me/15551234567?text=Hi%20I%27d%20like%20a%20quote). The customer still presses send.
Can I change where my WhatsApp QR code goes after printing?
Yes, if you make it dynamic. The printed code points at a short link we keep for you, and you can change the destination any time from your dashboard. A free static code prints the link itself and can never change.
Can my WhatsApp QR code look like art?
Yes. We paint it in a style you choose, then test it with three decoders under 16 print and phone conditions before you can download it.
Does it expire?
Free static codes never expire. Dynamic codes keep redirecting to your last link even if you cancel your plan.
