WhatsApp link generator
Type your number and an optional message. You get a wa.me link that opens a chat with you, a QR code to print, and a button to paste into any website.
Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser. Nothing you type or upload is sent to us or stored.
Put this button on your page
A Liite page gives your WhatsApp link a home: a WhatsApp button next to your other links, a QR code for your counter, and a count of how many people tapped it.
How to use it
- Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code, for example +44 7700 900123.
- Write the message people will send you, or leave it empty.
- Copy the link, download the QR code, or copy the button for your website.
How WhatsApp links work
WhatsApp's click-to-chat feature opens a chat with any number from a link, without the other person saving you as a contact first. The link has the form wa.me/ followed by the full phone number in international format: the country code and the number, with no plus sign, spaces, dashes or leading zeros.
Add ?text= and a message to pre-fill the chat. People still see the message and press send themselves, so nothing is sent on their behalf. The message has to be URL-encoded (spaces become %20, a question mark becomes %3F), which this tool does for you.
Where to use your link
Put it in your Instagram or TikTok bio, on your website's contact page, in an email signature or on a Google Business profile. Print the QR code on a menu, a shop window, a flyer or a business card so people can scan it and start a chat in one step.
A pre-filled message tells you where the chat came from. Use a different message for each place, for example "Hi, I saw your menu" on the table card and "Hi, I found you on Instagram" in your bio.
Share links without a number
Leave the number empty to make a share link instead. It opens WhatsApp with your message ready and lets the sender pick who to send it to. That's useful for sharing an event, an offer or a page with friends.
Your number stays with you
The link and the QR code are made in your browser. We don't see or store the number or the message you type.
Questions
Is the WhatsApp link free?
Yes. wa.me links are a free WhatsApp feature and this generator is free too. There's no sign-up and the link never expires.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The same link opens a chat with a WhatsApp Business number.
Why does my link say the number isn't on WhatsApp?
Usually the country code is missing or there's an extra 0 after it. Write the number the way someone abroad would dial it: +44 7700 900123, not 07700 900123.
Can I change the message later?
The message is part of the link, so a new message means a new link. If you print the QR code, point it at your Liite page instead and put the WhatsApp button there: you can change the message any time without reprinting.
Can I track how many people clicked?
Not with a plain wa.me link. Add it as a WhatsApp button on a Liite page and you'll see the taps in your page's analytics, without cookies.
