WhatsApp QR code generator

The code holds a wa.me link to your number. A customer points their phone camera at it, taps the link that appears and lands in a chat with you, with your prefilled message ready to send.

At least 2 cm across, with the white border around it left clear. For a code read from further away, a poster or a shop window, allow about 1 cm of code for every 10 cm of scanning distance.

The PNG is 1,024 pixels square, which suits screens, documents and most prints. The SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, so use it for large prints or send it to your printer or designer.

No. The link is written into the code itself rather than sent through a redirect, so the code works for as long as the number is on WhatsApp.

No. A change to the number or the message is a new link, so it needs a new code. Settle the wording before you print a large run.

Yes. Add a PNG, JPG, SVG or WebP image up to 2 MB and it sits on a white pad in the centre, no wider than about a fifth of the code. The code then switches to error correction level H, which still reads with that much of it covered, and the logo is part of both the PNG and the SVG download. The image never leaves your browser. Scan a test print before you print a full run.

Keep a dark code on a light background with strong contrast between them. Scanners read dark modules on a light ground, and a light code on a dark background fails on some phones.
