Free WhatsApp link generator
Create a click-to-chat wa.me link with a pre-filled message, plus a QR code you can print. Free, no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser. Use this WhatsApp link generator for your Instagram bio, website, ads or packaging.
Print this QR code on packaging, visiting cards, menus or posters. Scanning it opens a chat with your number.
Your number and message stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to SAMWAD.
How it works
Create your WhatsApp link in three steps
- Enter your number
Pick the country code and type the number that should receive the chats, without the leading 0.
- Write a starting message
Optional, but it helps: customers who arrive with “Hi, I saw your Instagram post about…” tell you where they came from.
- Copy the link or the QR code
Paste the link anywhere you can paste a link. Download the QR code for print. Tap “Test it” first to check it opens the right chat.
Where to use it
Where a WhatsApp link earns its place
Put it wherever a customer might want to ask a quick question, and give each place its own starting message so you know which one works.
Add the link to your bio or a story link sticker, with a message like “Hi, I came from Instagram”.
Add it to the contact page and product pages. For a floating button on every page, use the WhatsApp button generator.
Use it as the chat or website link, so people searching for you can message you directly.
Print the QR code with a clear line such as “Scan to reorder on WhatsApp”.
Good to know
What a WhatsApp link can and can’t do
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does it send the message automatically? | No. It opens a chat with your number and puts your text in the customer’s message box. They choose whether to send it. |
| Which numbers work? | Any number on WhatsApp: the personal app, the WhatsApp Business app, or a number on the WhatsApp Business API. |
| Does it expire? | No. A wa.me link keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp. |
| Is my number visible? | Yes. The number is part of the link, so anyone who sees the link can see it. |
| Can I format the message? | Yes, with WhatsApp’s formatting: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~ and `monospace`. The preview shows how it will look. |
| Emojis and other languages? | Both work. The message is encoded into the link, so Hindi, Arabic or emoji text arrives as written. |

Book a demoWhat is a WhatsApp link?
A web address in the form wa.me/ followed by a phone number. Opening it starts a WhatsApp chat with that number, without saving the contact first.
How do I create a WhatsApp link with a message?
Enter your number and the message above. The generator adds the message to the link as ?text=…, encoded so spaces, emojis and other languages work.
Is this WhatsApp link generator free?
Yes. There’s no signup and no limit. The link and QR code are created in your browser.
Do WhatsApp QR codes expire?
No. The QR code contains your wa.me link, so it works as long as the number is on WhatsApp.
Can I track how many people click my link?
Not with a plain wa.me link. Use a different starting message for each place you share it, or run Click-to-WhatsApp ads, which report clicks and chats.
Does it work with the WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. A wa.me link works with any WhatsApp number, including API numbers on SAMWAD.
