About the WhatsApp Link Generator
WhatsApp Link Generator makes a click-to-chat link: a short wa.me address that opens a WhatsApp chat with your number, with a message already typed if you like. Enter the phone number with its country code, write the message, and the page builds the link, checks the number format and gives you ready HTML code for a button. Use the link on your website, Instagram bio, Facebook page, email signature, business card QR code or ads, so customers can message you in one tap without saving your number first.

Why use a click-to-chat link
Customers like to ask a quick question by message, and a link removes the steps in between: no copying a number, no saving a contact, no searching for your name. A wa.me link turns any button, image or text into an instant chat with you, which raises the chance that visitors get in touch.
Where to put it
Put the link anywhere that accepts a web address. Make a text message that matches the place, so you know where the chat came from.
- Website: a button in the corner or on the contact page
- Instagram and TikTok: the link in your bio
- Facebook: the button or the About section
- Email: in the signature, with a message such as I'm writing from your email
- Print: turn the link into a QR code so people can scan it
Writing the pre-filled message
Keep the message short and friendly, and say what the person wants, such as Hi, I'd like a quote for a wedding cake. A message that mentions the page or product helps you reply faster. Avoid long text, because very long links can break in some apps.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a WhatsApp link?
Take your number in international format without + or leading zeros, and put it after https://wa.me/. For a message add ?text= followed by the encoded message. The generator does it for you.
What phone number format should I use?
The full international number with the country code and no 0, + or spaces. A US number 415 555 0123 becomes 14155550123, a UK mobile 07911 123456 becomes 447911123456 and an Indian mobile 98765 43210 becomes 919876543210.
Does the person need to save my number?
No. The link opens a chat with your number directly, and the other person does not have to add you as a contact first.
Can I put a message in the link?
Yes. The text appears in the message box when the chat opens, and the person presses send. It cannot send automatically.
Does it work with WhatsApp Business?
Yes. The same wa.me link opens a chat with a WhatsApp Business account.
Will the link work on a computer?
Yes. It opens WhatsApp Web or the desktop app, and on a phone it opens the app.
Is it safe to share my number in a link?
Anyone with the link can message you, as with any public number. Use a business number for public links and consider a separate WhatsApp Business account.
Is my number stored?
No. The link is made in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
