WhatsApp QR Code Generator

What is WhatsApp QR Code Generator?

A WhatsApp QR code is a normal QR code that holds a click to chat link. When someone scans it with their phone camera, WhatsApp opens a chat with your number, with your message already typed in. They do not need to save your number or type anything. Enter your number and an optional message above, choose the look, and the code updates as you type. Download it as a PNG for screens and social posts, or an SVG for print. Everything is made in your browser, so your number and message are never uploaded.

   Hi, I would like to book a table

   Step 2. Add a message if you like

   The text is typed into the chat when someone scans, for example "Hi, I would like to book a table".

Static or Dynamic: Why It Matters

Many QR generators make a dynamic code. It does not hold your link. It holds the address of their server, which then forwards people to you. That lets them show scan counts, but it also means every code you printed stops working if their service closes or your plan ends. This tool makes a static code. Your WhatsApp link is stored inside the code itself, so there is no middleman and nothing to renew. It keeps working for as long as the number is active on WhatsApp.

Design Tips for a Code That Scans

• Dark on light: A dark code on a light background is the safest. Light codes on dark backgrounds fail on some scanners, and very similar colours fail on most.

• Keep the quiet border: The empty margin around the code helps phones find it. Do not crop it or cover it.

• A centre logo is fine: A small logo works because the tool switches to the strongest error correction, which lets a code stay readable with part of it covered.

• Keep the message short: A longer message makes a denser code with smaller dots, which is harder to scan when printed small.

• Tell people what to do: A label such as "Scan to chat on WhatsApp" gets more scans than a code on its own.

How Big to Print It

A simple rule is that a code can be scanned from about ten times its width. A code 2 cm wide is read from about 20 cm away.

• Business cards and packaging: At least 2 by 2 cm.

• Menus, flyers and table tents: 3 to 4 cm.

• Posters and shop windows: 10 cm or more.

• Banners and billboards: Scale to about one tenth of the viewing distance.

Where to Use a WhatsApp QR Code

• Restaurants and cafes: On menus and table tents for orders and bookings.

• Shops and counters: At the till or on packaging, for support and reorders.

• Business cards and brochures: Let people start a chat without typing your number.

• Events and stands: On banners, badges and delivery boxes.

• Posts and presentations: In slides, social posts and email newsletters.
