To get a QR code for your Facebook page, copy the page’s web address and turn it into a QR code. The same method works for LinkedIn, YouTube and most other profiles. This guide shows the steps for each, plus the options some apps already offer, so customers can follow you with one scan.
The Simple Method for Any Profile
- Open the profile or page in a browser.
- Copy the address from the address bar. Use the clean address of the page, not a link with extra tracking text.
- Paste it into the QR code generator.
- Generate the code and download the PNG.
- Scan it with your phone to check that it opens the right page.
If the address is long, use a URL shortener for a simpler code.
QR Code for a Facebook Page
Open your page, copy its address and generate a code as above. Some versions of Facebook and Meta Business tools also offer a built-in QR option for pages, though this varies. Use the page address rather than your personal profile address, and check that the page is public.
QR Code for LinkedIn
The LinkedIn mobile app includes your own QR code. Open the search bar, tap the QR icon and choose the option to show your code. You can also copy your profile address and make a code yourself. It is a handy addition to a resume or a business card.
QR Code for a YouTube Channel
Open your channel in a browser, copy the address and generate the code. Put it on videos, slides or print material, and add a short label such as “Scan to subscribe”.
Instagram and Other Profiles
Instagram offers a QR code for your profile inside the app. For any other service, copy the profile address and use the method above.
Where to Use Your Social QR Code
- Business cards, flyers and posters.
- Menus, receipts and packaging.
- Shop windows and table cards.
- Presentation slides and video endings.
Pair the code with a clear call to action. If you are designing a card, our business card maker can help with the layout.
Tips for Better Scans
- Use dark code on a light background.
- Print at least about 2 x 2 cm with a clear border.
- Test on both iPhone and Android.
- Do not link to a private page or a page that needs a login.
