A WhatsApp QR code opens a chat the moment someone scans it. Paste your wa.me or click-to-chat URL, style the code, print it on a flyer, menu, or table card — and swap the chat link later without reprinting. Codes never expire.
How to create a WhatsApp QR code
- 1
Start on this page
The generator on this page is ready, so you can start right away.
- 2
Paste a WhatsApp link
Copy a wa.me or WhatsApp click-to-chat URL and paste it in the field. That is what scanners will open — a WhatsApp chat, not an SMS compose screen, not a phone dialer, and not a multi-button link-in-bio page.
- 3
Customize the design
Pick colors, add a logo, and wrap the code in a frame with a call to action like "Scan to chat on WhatsApp." Check the live preview as you go.
- 4
Download and print
Export PNG or SVG and print it on a flyer, poster, menu, or table tent. You can point it at a different WhatsApp link later without reprinting.
Edit after print, never expires
The printed code points to a short link, not the WhatsApp URL itself. Fix a number, swap a business chat link, or send scanners to a new wa.me destination — every printed copy keeps working. Free codes never expire.
See which placement gets scanned
Your dashboard shows scan counts, countries and cities, and device types — included free, with no cap on recorded scans. One code per flyer or table tells you which ask actually opens the chat.
From print to WhatsApp in one scan
Nobody types a long wa.me URL off a flyer. A scan opens the WhatsApp click-to-chat link on the phone — ready to message.
Frequently asked questions
Is the WhatsApp QR code generator really free?+
Yes. You can design and preview your code without an account, and the free plan includes 5 dynamic QR codes. Free QR codes never expire. Scans are unlimited on every plan, including Free.
What happens when someone scans the code?+
The code is a dynamic short link that opens the WhatsApp wa.me or click-to-chat URL you pasted. On most phones it opens WhatsApp (or the browser first, then WhatsApp) so the chat is ready to send.
Can I change the WhatsApp link after printing?+
Yes. The printed code points to a short link, so you can swap the destination anytime from your dashboard without reprinting.
Is this the same as an SMS QR code?+
No. This page opens a WhatsApp chat link (wa.me / click-to-chat). For a native SMS compose QR, use SMS QR Code.
Is this the same as a phone number QR code?+
No. This page opens WhatsApp, not the phone dialer. For a tap-to-call code, use Phone Number QR Code.
Is this the same as a link-in-bio QR code?+
No. This page is one WhatsApp chat destination. For a multi-button hub that can include WhatsApp among other links, use Link in Bio QR Code.
Does the QR code expire?+
No. QR codes on UQR never expire, including free codes. Unlimited scans on every plan. No ads on scans. Downgrading does not deactivate your codes.
Which WhatsApp links work?+
Any wa.me or WhatsApp click-to-chat URL you can paste. Copy the link from WhatsApp and paste it here. Scanning opens whatever that URL opens.
Create your WhatsApp QR code free — edit it after printing, and it never expires.
