Number to WhatsApp Link
Turn any phone number into a wa.me chat link, with an optional pre-filled message.
Include the country code. Spaces, dashes, brackets and the plus sign are removed for you.
Enter a phone number to build the link.
What It Does
This tool builds a wa.me click-to-chat link from a phone number, so anyone who clicks it opens a WhatsApp conversation with you without saving your number first. It handles the formatting rule that trips most people up — wa.me accepts digits only, and rejects a number containing a plus sign, spaces or dashes — and gives you the finished link as plain text, HTML and Markdown ready to paste.
When to Use It
- You want a Contact button on your website that opens WhatsApp instead of an email form.
- You are writing an Instagram or link-in-bio page and want one tap to reach you.
- You run ads or a landing page and want each one to carry a different pre-filled message so you can tell which brought the enquiry.
- You are adding a support link to an invoice, receipt or email signature.
Worked Examples
+91 98765 43210
A number typed naturally, with a country code, spaces and a plus sign. The analysis shows exactly which characters were stripped to reach the digits-only form wa.me needs.
07700 900123
A local-format UK number. The analysis flags the missing country code — this is the single most common reason a chat link opens WhatsApp and then reports an invalid number.
+1 555 0100
With a pre-filled message. The recipient only has to press send, and a different message per campaign tells you where each enquiry came from without any tracking.
Common Mistakes
- Leaving the plus sign in. wa.me takes digits and nothing else — https://wa.me/+919876543210 fails where https://wa.me/919876543210 works. This tool strips it and tells you it did.
- Using a local number without the country code. A number like 07700 900123 has to become 447700900123: country code first, leading zero dropped. Without this the link either fails or, occasionally, opens a chat with a stranger in another country.
- Assuming the link proves the number is on WhatsApp. It cannot check registration, so a link to a landline or an unregistered mobile builds and clicks perfectly, then dead-ends. Always test your own link before publishing it.
- Using the old api.whatsapp.com/send format. It still works but wa.me is shorter, is what WhatsApp itself recommends, and makes a simpler QR code if you later turn the link into one.

Check the analysis for country-code warnings. 4. Copy the plain link, or the HTML or Markdown version if you are pasting it into a page. 5.
