How to make a WhatsApp QR code
- Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code and no leading zero — for an Indian number, start with 91 (for example 91 98xxxxxxxx).
- Optionally add a pre-filled message so customers don't have to think about what to type.
- Customize the colors or add your logo, then download and print it, or share it in your social bios.
Getting more chats from your code
- Put a short call to action next to the code, such as "Scan to order on WhatsApp".
- A WhatsApp Business number lets you set an automatic greeting and away message for people who scan after hours.
- The code links to wa.me with your number, so if your number changes you'll need a new code.
Printing codes on products you sell? A standard QR code can be copied by anyone. Secure QR codes are issued per product and verified live, so copies get flagged.

Yes. Every QR type, every customization option, and every download format on this page is free, with no account, no payment, and no limit on how many codes you generate.
No. Generation, customization, and every download happen entirely in your browser — the content you type (a Wi-Fi password, a phone number, an address) never reaches our servers. When you download, print, copy, or share a code, we log which QR type was used along with your IP address and browser user agent, for our own usage analytics. Nothing you typed is included.
This free tool generates a standard QR code from whatever you type — anyone can read it with any scanner. Qrauthix's Simple and Secure QR codes are different: they're issued against a real product record and verified live against Qrauthix's database, with Secure QR additionally requiring the Qrauthix mobile app and a one-time challenge, so it never verifies in a plain browser and repeated scans of a copied code get flagged.
