WhatsApp QR code PNG or SVG?

Download PNG when the QR code will stay close to its original size on a screen. Download SVG when a designer or printer may resize it. Both files encode the same wa.me destination.

PNG - digital use

400 by 400 pixels. Best for email, landing pages, social posts, slide decks, and documents where the displayed size is known.

SVG - print and resizing

Vector output. Best for menus, shop windows, business cards, event banners, product packaging, and files handed to a designer.

Before publishing, open the wa.me link and scan a proof on both iPhone and Android. WhatsApp also documents how businesses can print a business QR code.

Frequently asked questions

What does the WhatsApp QR code link to?

It encodes a wa.me click-to-chat URL with your international-format phone number. If you add a message, the generator also encodes that text so it appears when the chat opens.

Do I need to select a country code first?

Yes. Select the country code, then enter the rest of the phone number without spaces, brackets, or dashes. Test the generated link before printing the code.

Should I download the WhatsApp QR code as PNG or SVG?

Use PNG for websites, email, and social posts. Use SVG for menus, flyers, signs, packaging, or any design that may be resized because SVG stays sharp at larger dimensions.

How large can I print the QR code?

The SVG download is vector based and can scale without pixelation. The PNG is 400 by 400 pixels. Whatever the size, preserve a clear white margin and test a printed proof from the expected scanning distance.

Does the WhatsApp QR code expire?

No. This code contains a direct wa.me link rather than an expiring redirect. It keeps working while the WhatsApp number remains active and the encoded destination stays correct.

Does Instant Reply store the phone number or QR code?

No. The QR code is generated in your browser from the number and optional message you enter. This free tool does not send those values to an Instant Reply server.
