How to use WhatsApp Link Generator

  1. Enter the WhatsApp number with its country code, such as 62 for Indonesia. Indonesian numbers that start with 08xx are converted to 62 automatically.

  2. Write a starting message (optional) that will be filled into the chat box.

  3. Copy the link or its HTML button code, then put it in your bio or website, or send it to customers.

How a wa.me link works

The format is https://wa.me/ followed by the number in international format, without a plus sign, spaces or leading zero, then optionally ?text= followed by the encoded message. For Indonesia, the number 0812-3456-7890 becomes 6281234567890.

Visitors who click the link land in your chat, and a prefilled message saves them one step. You can also turn the link into a QR code with our QR Code Generator to put on banners or packaging.

Questions about WhatsApp Link Generator

Do visitors have to save my number first?

No. A wa.me link opens a chat with that number directly, without saving it to contacts.

What is the correct number format?

Use the international format with no plus sign, spaces or leading zero. An Indonesian number 0812xxxx becomes 62812xxxx. For other countries, start with the country code. This tool converts Indonesian numbers automatically.

Can the message have several lines and emoji?

Yes. The message is encoded automatically, and line breaks are kept when the chat opens.

What is the difference between wa.me and api.whatsapp.com/send?

Both open a chat. wa.me is the short form that WhatsApp recommends for Click to Chat.

Is there a limit on message length?

There is no documented official limit, but a URL that is too long can fail in some apps. Keep the message short.

Is my number stored?

No. The link is created in your browser and is not sent to our servers.
