Free tool

A WhatsApp link, QR code and chat button.

Enter a mobile number and an optional first message. You get a wa.me link, a QR code for the counter or the van, and a snippet for your website. Your browser builds it. We never see the number.

UAE mobiles can be local (05…) or international (+971…)

Optional. The visitor still presses send. Arabic is fine.

Built in this browser. The number and the message are not uploaded, and the link does not expire.

This link sends people to one phone. Automation captures every enquiry, answers the common ones and hands the rest to the team.

How it works

What the number is, and what it is not.

What a wa.me link actually does

WhatsApp’s click-to-chat link opens a conversation with a number, even if the visitor has never saved it. The official format is https://wa.me/ followed by the full number: country code, no plus sign, no spaces, no brackets and no leading zero. Add a pre-filled message as ?text= with the words URL-encoded. The visitor still presses send. Nothing goes out on its own.

How UAE numbers are cleaned up

People write the same mobile in several ways: 050 123 4567, +971 50 123 4567, or 00971 50 123 4567. The generator strips spaces and punctuation, drops a 00 international prefix, drops a leading 0, and adds 971 when the country code is missing. The link then uses the digits only, which is the form WhatsApp accepts. If the result is shorter than a real number or longer than 15 digits, the tool says so instead of giving you a broken link.

Where to put the QR and the button

The QR code is the same link as an image. It suits a reception desk, a vehicle, a menu, a proposal or a slide, anywhere someone can point a camera. The HTML snippet is a normal link, safe to paste into a site, an email signature or a landing page. Test it on a phone before you print a run of anything. A code that points at the wrong digit is expensive to reprint.

Worked example

The same number, written out.

A Dubai shop writes its mobile as 050 123 4567. Strip the spaces and the leading 0, add the UAE country code, and the digits are 971501234567. With the message “Hello, I would like a quote.”, the link is:

https://wa.me/971501234567?text=Hello%2C%20I%20would%20like%20a%20quote.

The QR code on this page encodes that same address, so a camera and a tap do the same job as the link. The website snippet is an ordinary anchor pointing at it. Nothing in the example is stored. If the number you actually use is the one on a personal phone, every conversation still lives on that phone. The WhatsApp automation service is what moves those chats onto a shared inbox, with an assistant for the questions you answer ten times a day. Message fees for that setup are a different question, covered by the API cost calculator.

FAQ

Before you print it or paste it.

All free tools

No. We do not host the wa.me link and it does not expire. Once you have copied it, it keeps working even if this page changes. It stops working only if that phone number leaves WhatsApp.

No. Your browser creates the link, the QR code and the button. We do not send the number to our server, and there is no account. The only anonymous signal we record is that someone used the tool or followed the booking link, not what they typed.

The usual cause is the number shape: a plus sign, a leading zero, or a missing country code. This page removes those. It can still fail if the number is not on WhatsApp or is a landline. It can also fail if a raw line break entered the message during copying. Send the link to your own phone before you publish it.

Neither. The link opens whatever WhatsApp account sits on that number, including the Business app. It does not give you a shared inbox, a record of the chat, or an assistant that answers at 10pm. When replies live on one phone, the link is the easy part and the operations are the hard part. That is the automation we build.

Yes. The generator encodes Arabic, English and mixed messages into the link. Spaces and Arabic letters survive being pasted into a browser, a QR code or an email. The visitor sees the message in the chat box in the language you wrote.

No. A wa.me link starts one conversation when a person taps or scans it. It does not send a template to a list. Bulk messages need the WhatsApp Business API, an approved template and a cost per delivered message. The API cost calculator on this site prices that.
