Turn your number into aWhatsApp QR code
Type your number, write the first message, and get a QR code that opens the conversation straight away. Everything is generated in your browser, your number never reaches our servers.
Type it the way you write it locally, spaces and the leading zero are handled.
This is what appears in the chat, ready to send.
0/700Generated entirely in your browser, nothing is sent or stored.
Your QR code appears here as soon as the number is valid.
WhatsApp already does this, so why use a generator?
The native QR code exists, but it is built for adding a contact face to face, not for putting on a poster.
It is buried in the app
You have to open the settings, find the QR tab, then screenshot it. And it only lives on the phone the account is on, so nobody else on your team can get to it.
It opens an empty chat
The WhatsApp code drops people into a blank conversation, and most of them never type the first line. Here you write it for them, so the chat starts on your terms.
It is a screenshot, not a file
A screenshot goes blurry the moment you enlarge it. This one exports as SVG, so it stays sharp on a flyer, a window sticker or a table tent.
How it works
Enter your number
Pick your country and type your number the way you would say it out loud. The trunk zero, the spaces and the plus sign are cleaned up for you.
Write the first message
Optional, but it is what turns a scan into an actual conversation. "I would like to book a table", "Is this still in stock", whatever fits the place the code is going.
Download or copy
PNG for stories and screens, SVG for anything that goes to print. You can also copy the plain wa.me link and use it as a button on your site.
Where a WhatsApp QR code actually earns its place
Anywhere a person is physically in front of you and typing a phone number is one step too many.
Restaurants and bars
A table tent for bookings and takeaway orders. The message is already written, the guest just presses send.
Shops
A sticker in the window so people can ask about stock, sizes or opening hours outside your opening hours.
Events and stands
On a badge or a banner, so visitors reach you without saving a contact they will delete on the way home.
Packaging and flyers
Support that lands in a chat instead of an inbox nobody reads, with the order reference already in the message.
Make that QR code trackable
A raw wa.me code tells you nothing. You never learn which flyer, which window or which city actually started the conversations. Point the same QR code at a LinkScale link and every scan becomes something you can read.
Scans by source
One link per flyer, per shop, per campaign, so you finally know which one is worth reprinting.
Change the destination
The printed code stays the same, the number behind it can move. Change of team, change of country, no reprint.
Route by country or device
Send an Italian scan to the Italian team, and an iPhone scan straight into the app rather than a browser tab.
Filter out fake traffic
Bots and scrapers get stopped before they ever reach your chat, so your numbers stay honest.
