How to Create a WhatsApp QR Code

A WhatsApp QR Code allows people to start a WhatsApp conversation with you instantly by simply scanning the QR code. There's no need for users to manually save your phone number or type a message—they can scan the code and begin chatting immediately.

With QR DM, you can create a professional WhatsApp QR Code in just a few simple steps. Enter your WhatsApp number, add an optional pre-filled message, customize the QR Code to match your branding, and download it in your preferred format. Follow this guide to learn How to Create a WhatsApp QR Code.

Step 1: Select the WhatsApp QR Code Type

Begin by selecting WhatsApp from the list of available QR code types. This opens the WhatsApp information form.

Enter the following details:

Country Code - Select the appropriate country code.
WhatsApp Number - Enter the mobile number linked to your WhatsApp account.
Pre-filled Message (Optional) - Add a default message that will automatically appear when someone scans the QR code and opens the chat.

Before continuing, verify that your phone number is correct to ensure users can contact you successfully.

Step 2: Customize Your WhatsApp QR Code

Once you've entered your WhatsApp details, you can personalize the appearance of your QR Code.

The available customization options include:

QR Color - Select the color of your QR Code using the color picker or by entering a hexadecimal color code.
Background Color - Choose a background color that provides sufficient contrast for reliable scanning.
Pattern Style - Select your preferred QR pattern design from:
- Dots

- Pixel
Eye Style - Choose the corner marker style:

These customization options allow you to create a WhatsApp QR Code that matches your branding while maintaining excellent scan performance.

Step 3: Upload a Logo (Optional)

To make your WhatsApp QR Code more recognizable, you can upload your company or brand logo.

The logo upload section supports PNG and JPG image formats with a maximum file size of 2 MB. After uploading, use the size slider to adjust the logo size so it fits neatly within the QR Code without affecting its readability.

Step 4: Preview and Download Your WhatsApp QR Code

Before downloading, review your WhatsApp QR Code in the Preview section to ensure everything appears correctly.

If you want the flexibility to update your WhatsApp destination later without changing the printed QR Code, enable the Make QR Dynamic option.

Choose your preferred download format:

SVG
JPEG
Transparent

Finally, click Save to Dashboard to save your WhatsApp QR Code and download it for use in print or digital materials.
