WhatsApp Link Generator Guide
Turn a phone number and a message into a wa.me click-to-chat link.
A wa.me click-to-chat link asks WhatsApp to open a conversation with a number, optionally prefilling a message. WhatsApp Link Generator builds that URL locally; it does not check whether the number has WhatsApp or send the message.
Make a disposable example
Set Country code to 62, Phone number to 081234567890, and Message to Hello. Click-to-chat link should show https://wa.me/6281234567890?text=Hello. The tool removes a leading zero before adding the country code. Add a space to the message and you should see %20 for that space in the URL. Copy link copies the result; Open leaves this site and opens the wa.me URL in a new tab.
Do not put private messages, credentials, or someone else’s number in a link you publish. URLs are visible in history, logs, previews, and screenshots. Check both number and text before using Open, and remember that opening a chat does not mean a message was sent.
Where your input goes
Processing runs in your browser. The tool does not upload your input to ilham.dev.

Questions you might have
- Why is the leading zero removed?
- wa.me needs the number in international form, which has no national trunk prefix. A local number written 0812 becomes 62812 once the country code is added, so the leading zero is dropped before the two are joined.
- Does the message have to be encoded?
- Spaces and punctuation cannot sit raw in a URL, so the message is percent-encoded. That is why a space turns into %20 in the link; WhatsApp decodes it back to a normal space when the chat opens.
- Can I shorten the link?
- Not here, because shortening needs a request to a third-party service and this page never sends your text anywhere. Use your own shortener afterwards if you need one.
