How to make a social media QR code
- Pick the platform and type your handle without the @.
- Or paste the full profile link if you use a custom URL.
- Add the platform icon as the logo and a “Follow us” frame if you like.
- Scan to check the profile opens. If you recently changed your handle, the old one may no longer work.
Profile link formats
- https://instagram.com/yourname
- YouTube
- https://youtube.com/@yourchannel (handle) — older /channel/ IDs also work if pasted.
- TikTok
- https://tiktok.com/@yourname
- https://linkedin.com/in/yourname for people; company pages use /company/name — paste those as a custom link.
- Facebook and X
- https://facebook.com/yourpage and https://x.com/yourname
Where to use it
Packaging and receipts
Customers follow you after they have bought, when they are most interested.
Event booths
Pair the code with a reason to follow, like a giveaway announced on the profile.
Creators’ merch and posters
One profile per code keeps it simple; use a Multi-URL code for several.
Limits
- If you change your handle, printed codes point to the old one.
- Platform logos are trademarks of their owners. Use them only to point to your profile on that platform.
Questions people ask
Will it open the app or the website?
If the app is installed, most phones open the profile in the app. Otherwise it opens in the browser.
Can I link several profiles?
Use the Multi-URL QR code, or a single link-in-bio page on your own site.
