What Is a Social Media QR Code?
A social media QR code opens a profile page the moment someone scans it, whether that is Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, or any other platform with its own link. Instead of asking someone to search for your account by name, a scan takes them straight there.
Which Platforms Can I Link To?
Any platform with a shareable profile link works here, including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, and plenty of others. Just paste the link to your profile page into the field above.
Can One Code Link to Several Platforms at Once?
Not with a single code, since a QR code can only point to one link at a time. If you would like to share several profiles with one scan, the common approach is linking to a personal link page you set up yourself, one that lists all your profiles, and pointing this code at that page instead of a single platform.
Why Do I Need a Social Media QR Code?
Cleaner Print Design
Printing a full social media link on packaging or a flyer takes up space and looks cluttered. A QR code takes up a small corner and does the same job.
Skips the Search
Typing a username into a search bar and hoping the right account comes up loses people. A scan takes them to the exact profile every time.
Works in Print and Digital
The same code works on a printed flyer, a business card, packaging, or a digital ad, since all it needs is a camera to read it.
Completely Free
There is no cost to create a social media QR code here, and no account required.

Keep It Big Enough to Scan

Choose Colors With Enough Contrast
Match your own brand colors if you like, just keep the pattern noticeably darker than the background.
Pick the Right File Format
JPG, PNG, and SVG are all free to download here, no account needed for any of them.
FAQ
Will my QR code expire?
No, and there is no cost or subscription involved. As long as the profile link it points to still works, the code keeps working.
How do I scan a social media QR code?
Open your phone's camera app and point it at the code for a second or two. Most modern phones will show a notification or open the link automatically. If yours doesn't have a built in scanner, a free QR reader app from your app store will do the job.
What happens if I change my username or my profile link?
The code is fixed to whatever link you entered when you made it, so a changed username or link means creating a new code with the updated address.
Can I link to more than one platform with a single code?
Not directly, since a QR code can only point to one link. If you want to share several profiles at once, link the code to a page you control that lists all of them.
Is my information sent to a server when I create the code?
No. The code is built entirely in your browser from the link you paste in.
