What is a WhatsApp QR code?
A WhatsApp QR code is a printable image that encodes a click-to-chat link. When a customer scans it with their phone camera, WhatsApp opens directly to a chat with your number — optionally with a pre-filled message. It's the zero-friction equivalent of handing out a business card.
What this tool does
- Builds the wa.me URL — same format as our link generator, so your QR leads to a valid chat.
- Renders the QR locally — using an open-source QR library loaded over CDN; nothing hits our servers.
- Custom colours + logo — pick brand colours; optionally embed a WhatsApp icon or your own logo in the centre.
- High error correction — level H (up to ~30% recoverable), so the logo overlay does not break scanability.
- PNG & SVG downloads — crisp raster for web, infinite-scale vector for print.
When you need a WhatsApp QR
- Restaurants & cafés — a QR on the table lets guests order or ask for the bill.
- Printed collateral — flyers, posters, business cards, packaging inserts.
- Retail signage — "Scan to chat with support" replaces phone trees.
- Trade shows — scanning a badge QR beats typing a number.
- Packaging — post-purchase support that works globally with zero apps.
Privacy
The QR is generated inside your browser with a client-side library. Your phone number, message, colours, and logo never leave your device. Refresh the page and nothing is stored.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Modern phone cameras recognise a
https://wa.me/… URL and prompt the user to open WhatsApp. They'll see your chat with the pre-filled message ready to send.A safe rule of thumb is "10× the scan distance" — a QR scanned from 50 cm away should print at least 5 cm wide. For table cards aim for 3\u20135 cm; for posters seen from across a room, 10 cm or bigger. Always use SVG for print so edges stay razor-sharp.
Not at the cap we use (about 18% of the QR width). This tool encodes at error-correction level H, which allows up to ~30% of the code to be obscured and still decode. Keep the logo square and high-contrast for best results.
SVG for print, signage, or anywhere the QR might be resized — it stays perfectly crisp. PNG for web, social posts, and email, where a raster image is easier to embed. Both scan identically.
No — the URL is baked into the QR pixels. If you expect your number or message to change, point the QR at your own redirect (e.g.
yourdomain.com/chat) and update the redirect server-side.No. The QR is generated inside your browser with a JS library. We never send your number, message, or logo to any server.
