Where to use your WhatsApp QR code
Restaurant table cards
Print on tent cards or receipts so diners can message you instantly for feedback, reservations, or orders.
Retail packaging
Stick it on product boxes so customers can scan to get support, register, or reorder without searching for your number.
Business cards
Add the QR code to your business card. Prospects scan and a WhatsApp chat opens with your intro message pre-filled.
Store signage
Mount it at the counter, fitting room, or entrance. Customers can ask questions before they even reach you.
Event booths
Display it on your stand banner. Visitors scan to start a conversation or enter a giveaway without filling a form.
Flyers and print ads
Replace long phone numbers with a scannable QR code. One tap starts a WhatsApp chat from any print material.
Frequently asked questions
What does the QR code link to?
It links to a wa.me URL (the official WhatsApp click-to-chat format). When someone scans it with their phone camera or a QR reader, WhatsApp opens with your number ready to chat — and your pre-filled message in the text box if you added one.
Which format should I download — PNG or SVG?
Use PNG for digital use (social media, email, web). Use SVG for print — it's infinitely scalable so your QR code stays crisp at any size on flyers, banners, or packaging.
How large can I print the QR code?
The SVG version is vector-based and scales to any size without losing quality. For PNG, the exported image is 400×400px which is suitable for printing up to roughly 5×5cm at 300dpi. For larger print sizes, use the SVG download.
Does the QR code expire?
No. The QR code is just a visual encoding of your wa.me link. As long as the phone number is active on WhatsApp, the code will work indefinitely. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Can I add my logo to the QR code?
Our free generator creates a standard QR code. For branded QR codes with a logo overlay, you can use a design tool like Canva after downloading the SVG. The error correction level is set to M (15%) which leaves room for a small logo overlay.
What's the difference between a QR code and a wa.me link?
A wa.me link works on digital surfaces where people can tap (websites, social media, email). A QR code works on physical surfaces where people can scan (print, signage, packaging). Both open the same WhatsApp chat — it's just two delivery formats for the same destination.
