What is a WhatsApp link generator?
A WhatsApp link is a web address in the form wa.me/<number> that opens a chat with that number in one tap, on phone or computer. Adding ?text= after it pre-fills a message the customer can edit before sending. The QR code holds the same link.
Features
- wa.me click-to-chat link in the official format
- Optional pre-filled message in any language
- QR code as PNG for print or SVG for designers
- Indian number checks (10 digits, starts with 6 to 9)
- Works with WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business
How to use the WhatsApp link generator
- Choose the country code and type your WhatsApp number.
- Write a first message for customers, if you want one.
- Press Test link and send yourself a message.
- Copy the link or download the QR code and put it wherever customers find you.
How the link is built
WhatsApp's click-to-chat format is https://wa.me/ followed by the full number in international form, with no plus sign, spaces or leading zero. For the Indian number 98765 43210 that is https://wa.me/919876543210. A message is added as ?text= with the words URL-encoded, which this tool does for you.
Where to use your link
- Instagram and Facebook bio, and the "Contact" button on your site
- Google Business Profile, in the website or booking link field
- Printed QR codes on the counter, menus, packaging and delivery slips
- Email signatures and online ads
Frequently asked questions
Do wa.me links expire?
No. The link is a direct WhatsApp address and does not pass through our site. It works as long as the number stays registered on WhatsApp.
Can I use it with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. Click-to-chat works the same for WhatsApp and the WhatsApp Business app.
Why does my link say the number is not on WhatsApp?
Usually the country code is missing or the number has a leading 0. Enter the country code separately and the 10-digit number without 0 or +91.
Can I send bulk messages with this?
No. It only lets customers start a chat with you. Messaging many people needs the WhatsApp Business Platform and their opt-in.
