What is a wa.me link?

A link like https://wa.me/923001234567 opens a WhatsApp chat with that number when someone taps it. The person does not need to save your number first. Add ?text= and the chat opens with your message already typed.

Make the link

  1. Open the WhatsApp Link Generator.
  2. Pick your country (for example Pakistan +92) and type your number the way you normally dial it. A leading 0 is removed automatically.
  3. Type an optional message, for example "Hi, I want to order".
  4. Tap Copy, or tap Test to try it.

Make the QR code

  1. Open the WhatsApp QR Code Generator.
  2. Enter the same number and message.
  3. Choose a size: 512 px for screens, 1024 px or SVG for printing.
  4. Download the PNG or SVG.

Where to use them

  • Instagram or TikTok bio: paste the link in the website field.
  • Shop, menu or visiting card: print the QR code so customers scan and chat.
  • Facebook page, Google Business and website buttons.
  • Posters and flyers: use the SVG for sharp printing.

Tips

  • Test the link on your phone before you share it.
  • Keep the pre-filled message short and clear.
