WhatsApp QR Code Generator
Generate a WhatsApp QR code that opens a chat with your number, with an optional prefilled message.
Give someone your WhatsApp number and watch them fumble to save it, open the app, and find the chat. A WhatsApp QR code skips all of that. Scan it, and the chat opens instantly, phone number already loaded. Print it on a business card, stick it on a counter, drop it in an email signature.
It's free and there's no account to create. Enter your number and an optional prefilled message, and you'll have a print-ready code in seconds. Want to see how many people scan it, or change the number later without reprinting? Save it as a dynamic QR code, free with a free ProQR.codes account.

Best Practices
- Use a dedicated business number, not a personal one
- Add a prefilled message to lower friction: "Hi, I scanned your code and wanted to ask..." gives customers a running start
- Make it dynamic (free account) if you might change the number or rotate staff contacts
- Add a short label near the code: "Scan to chat on WhatsApp" removes any guesswork
- Print at 300 dpi or higher for reliable scanning
