How to Make a QR Code and a WhatsApp Link
A QR code lets people open a link or read text just by scanning it. A WhatsApp link opens a chat with your message ready.
Make a QR code
- Open the QR Code Generator.
- Enter the text, web address or other content.
- Choose the size and colours. Keep strong contrast, such as dark on light.
- Download the image and test it by scanning with your phone before printing.
Make a WhatsApp link
- Open the WhatsApp Link Generator.
- Enter the phone number with the country code (for India, 91 followed by the number).
- Add an optional message.
- Copy the link, and put it on your website, bio or inside a QR code.
Tips
- Keep the QR code large enough. Very small prints may not scan.
- Do not put sensitive information in a QR code. Anyone who scans it can read it.
- Test on more than one phone.
Frequently asked questions
Do QR codes expire?
A QR code made this way holds the content itself, so it does not expire. If the link inside it stops working, the code will point to a dead page.
Can I use a WhatsApp link without saving the number?
Yes. The link opens a chat with that number without saving it to contacts.
Which colours work best?
Dark code on a light background scans best.
