Is the WhatsApp link generator free?

Yes. It runs in your browser, with no sign up and no usage limit. No number or message you type is sent to our servers.

How do I create a WhatsApp link with a prefilled message?

Fill in the country code, the number with area code and the message field. The generator builds a wa.me address with the message encoded, so whoever opens the link finds the text already written in the chat.

Do I need to save the number in my contacts for the link to work?

No. A WhatsApp link works with any valid number that has an active account, saved in your contacts or not.

Can I generate a group link here?

Group invites can only be issued inside WhatsApp, by a group admin. Here you can check whether the invites you already have are in the right format and free of repeats.

How many people fit in a WhatsApp group?

The limit is 1,024 members per group. After that the invite stops accepting people and whoever clicks the link is left with no alternative.

How do I use a single link for several groups?

That is what a smart link does: you register the groups in a redirector, promote one address and each click is sent to a group that still has room. When they all fill up, the overflow goes to a waiting list.

How to create a WhatsApp group link

Group links are not generated here: they come from WhatsApp itself, and only a group admin can issue one.

1

Open the group and tap its name

On mobile, tap the group name at the top of the conversation to open the group details.
2

Choose to invite via link

Look for the invite by link option. It only shows up for group admins.
3

Copy or share the invite

WhatsApp generates an address starting with chat.whatsapp.com. Copy that address to use in your campaigns.
4

Reset the link if it leaks

The same screen lets you reset the invite. The old link stops working immediately, so update it everywhere it was published.

A chat link and a group link are not the same thing

Chat link (wa.me)

Opens a one to one conversation with a number, with the message already written. It is the link the generator above creates and the right format for support and direct sales.

Group link (chat.whatsapp.com)

Takes the person into one specific group. It comes from WhatsApp itself, works for a single group and stops accepting people once that group is full.

What happens when the group fills up

A WhatsApp group holds up to 1,024 members. Once it hits the cap, the invite keeps circulating in your ad and your bio, but everyone who clicks finds a closed door. On paid traffic that is the most expensive click there is: you paid for the visit and got no lead.

A smart link covers that gap. You register every group, set how many seats each one has and promote a single address. Each click lands in a group with room, and anyone arriving after the cap joins a waiting list instead of disappearing.
