QR to chat vs QR to log in — which one do you need?

QR code to CHAT with a business (this tool)

A scan-to-chat QR encodes your wa.me link. Anyone who scans it opens a WhatsApp conversation with your number or group — ideal for packaging, menus, posters and name cards.

QR code to LOG IN to WhatsApp Web

That’s the QR shown at web.whatsapp.com, scanned from your own phone to link a computer. Different thing — see our WhatsApp Web scan guide for that flow.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a WhatsApp QR code for my number?

Enter your phone number with its country code above (add a pre-filled message if you like) and generate. The tool encodes your wa.me link into a QR code you can download as a 512px PNG — free, no sign-up, and nothing is stored.

Can I make a QR code for a WhatsApp group?

Yes. In WhatsApp, open the group, copy the invite link (chat.whatsapp.com/…), switch to the Group / wa.me link tab and paste it. Anyone scanning the QR joins the group directly.

Is the QR code good enough quality for printing?

The download is a 512×512 PNG with medium error correction, which prints crisply at typical sizes (3-10 cm). For very large formats, keep high contrast — dark code on a light background — and test-scan a proof before mass printing.

Does this QR code expire?

A QR for your wa.me number keeps working as long as the number is on WhatsApp. Group-invite QRs stop working if a group admin resets the invite link — reprint after any reset.

What's the difference between this and the WhatsApp Web QR?

This tool makes scan-to-chat codes for customers. The QR at web.whatsapp.com is for logging your own account into a browser — you scan it yourself from the app.

Can I track how many people scan my QR code?

Not natively — wa.me has no analytics. Use a distinct pre-filled message per placement (“Hi! From the shop window”) so your team can attribute conversations, or route chats into a shared inbox like imBee where sources are tagged and counted.

Can a whole team answer the chats coming from one QR code?

Yes — connect the number to the WhatsApp Business API with a platform like imBee: every scan-initiated chat lands in a shared team inbox with auto-assignment, AI-drafted replies and analytics.
