Free WhatsApp link generator

Almost always the number format. wa.me needs the full international number as digits only — no plus sign, no spaces or brackets, and no leading 0. A UK number written 07700 900123 has to travel as 447700900123, because that leading 0 is a domestic-only prefix. Pick your country here and enter the rest without the 0, and the link is built correctly.

No. Click-to-chat works with any WhatsApp account on any ordinary number. A Business account adds catalogues and away messages, but it is not required for a link like this.

Yes, and it is the main reason to use a link like this. Whatever you type appears in the sender's compose box when the chat opens — they can still edit it before sending. It works well for enquiries, bookings, and order codes, because you get a message you can recognise instead of a bare 'hi'.

Anywhere a tap makes sense: an Instagram bio, a website button, an email signature, or printed as the QR code shown here on a menu, a poster, or a shopfront.

Not with a raw wa.me code — the number is baked into the image. Point the code at a Pubtact page instead and you can change where it leads whenever you like, without reprinting anything.
