WhatsApp Link Generator

Let customers start a chat with one tap — from Instagram, Google, ads, emails or a printed QR. WhatsApp's official link format is https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message>. This tool validates the number for the country you pick and encodes the message correctly, including emoji and Indian-language text.

How to use the whatsapp link generator

  1. 01

    Enter your number

    Pick the country and type your WhatsApp number as you'd dial it. We convert it to the international format WhatsApp needs.

  2. 02

    Add a message

    Optional: the text your customer sees ready to send, like “Hi, I'd like to order…”.

  3. 03

    Copy or share

    Copy the link, open it to test, or download a QR code for print.

Good to know

  • A plain wa.me link can't be changed after you share it. A free WALink short link can be edited later and shows clicks.
  • Everything you type stays in your browser. Nothing is sent to WALink unless you sign in and choose to save.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?

No. Click-to-chat links work with the regular WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps.

Why does my link say the number isn't on WhatsApp?

WhatsApp shows that when the number has no WhatsApp account. Check the country code and that you've used the number registered on WhatsApp.

Is there a message length limit?

We cap the prefilled message at 1,000 characters so the link stays reliable in every browser and app.
