Social media QR code generator

The generator turns your username into the platform's official profile link. The code is a plain web address, so any phone camera recognizes it, and if the app is installed, the profile usually opens right in the app.

Platform	What you enter	What goes in the code
Instagram	username	instagram.com/name
TikTok	username	tiktok.com/@name
Facebook	page name or ID	facebook.com/name
YouTube	channel @handle	youtube.com/@name
LinkedIn	the end of your profile URL	linkedin.com/in/name
X (Twitter), Threads	username	x.com/name, threads.net/@name
Spotify	link to a profile, playlist or track	that link

If you paste the full link from your browser or from the app's “Share profile” menu, we put it in the code unchanged. That's the safest option, because it goes exactly where you intended.

Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat all have their own QR codes. They're fine, but:

• On printed material, the plain camera scan is what works reliably, and not every camera handles every in-app code format.
• You can't style them: the platform picks the color, frame and wording.
• You can't get print quality: no vector PDF, SVG or EPS.

Our code holds your profile's plain web address, so any phone camera can scan it, and you can style it however you like: module shapes, colors, gradients, your own logo and a frame with a call to action. Before you download, two independent decoders confirm the code returns exactly your profile link.

• Shops and cafés: on the counter or the door (“Follow us on Instagram and get 10% off at the register”).
• Business cards and flyers: your LinkedIn or Instagram in one scan.
• Product packaging: a TikTok or YouTube how-to video for the product.
• Events and talks: on the slide or the pull-up banner, so the audience can follow you on the spot.
• Musicians: your Spotify profile or playlist on the gig poster.

Make a separate code for each platform and label each one with the platform name. If you'd rather gather them all in one place, point a code at a “Follow us” page on your website that links every profile; use a URL QR code for that.

Social codes start with the rounded template, but all 12 templates are yours to try. When you upload your own logo, error correction switches to the strongest level (H), and we show you what share of the code it covers.

Don't put the platforms' logos in the middle of the code. Each platform has rules about using its brand assets. Your own logo plus a clear label (“@cafe_brooklyn on Instagram”) works better anyway.

Size: about one tenth of the scanning distance, never under 0.8 in (2 cm). On a business card, 0.8–1 in; on a window sticker, 3–4 in. Format: PDF or SVG for print, PNG for social posts (2048 px or more), with a transparent background if you need one.

The code is static: it holds your profile link, not a redirect service's address, so it never expires and there's no subscription behind it. The flip side: if you rename your profile, the old code still points to the old name.

• Settle on your final handle before printing.
• If your profiles change often, point the code at your own website and update the links there.
• For old printed material, the QR code expiry checker shows exactly what a code contains.

The code is made in your browser; your username never reaches a server.
