How to make your LinkedIn QR code here
Three steps, all in your browser.
- 1
Paste your link
Paste a LinkedIn profile, company page, post, newsletter or event link, or just your handle. The tool shows what kind of link it is and the exact address the code will open.
- 2
Style it and check the scan
Add the LinkedIn logo or your own in the middle, pick your colours, and add a frame with a caption like "Scan to connect". After every change, the tool decodes the code in your browser and shows you the link it read.
- 3
Download
Save it as a 2048 px PNG or as an SVG, then test it with your phone camera before you print.
How to make sure it scans
Keep it dark on light. A black or deep-coloured code on a white or pale background is what scanners expect. The tool warns you when the contrast gets low, and when the code is lighter than its background, which many scanners won't read at all.
Leave the plain margin alone. The white border around the code is part of it. Scanners use it to find the edges. The frame here is drawn outside that margin, so crop around the frame, never into the code.
Keep the logo small. The tool caps it at about a fifth of the code's width and raises error correction to its highest level when a logo is on. When a decorated code stops scanning, an oversized logo is usually why.
Print it big enough. As a rule of thumb, the code itself (frame not counted) should be at least 2 cm (0.8 in) across, bigger for long links, and about a tenth of the distance people will scan from.
Test with a phone. The scan check here tells you one decoder read the right link from the image. It knows nothing about your printer or the lighting, so scan the printed copy with your phone too.
Where to put your LinkedIn QR code
Business cards and name badges. A profile code on the back of a card skips the "how do you spell your name" moment. Keep the caption short, like "Scan to connect".
Resumes and cover letters. A small profile code in the header gives a recruiter holding a printout a way to your full history.
Slides and talks. Put a profile or newsletter code on your last slide and leave it up during questions, which is when people reach for their phones.
Booths, flyers and posters. Use a company page or event code, print it large, and write a caption that tells people what they get when they scan.
Your LinkedIn banner. A code there is handy when your profile is up on a projector or shared on a call. Keep it inside the safe area from our LinkedIn banner size guide, where no screen crops it.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I find my LinkedIn QR code?
- In the LinkedIn mobile app, tap the search bar at the top, then the QR code icon at the right end of it. The My code tab shows your profile code, with options to share it or save it to your photos. To make one on a computer, or for a page, post or event, paste the link into the generator on this page.
- Can I get a LinkedIn QR code on a computer?
- Yes. Paste your profile link, or just your handle, into the generator above and download the code as a PNG or SVG. It works in any desktop or mobile browser.
- Can I make a QR code for a LinkedIn company page?
- Yes. Paste the company page link, for example linkedin.com/company/your-company. A link to a tab such as /about or /jobs is trimmed back to the page itself, and the tool shows the exact link the code opens. Showcase and school pages work the same way.
- Do these QR codes expire?
- No. They are static codes, which means the link is written into the pattern itself and no redirect service sits in between to be switched off. Dynamic codes from some QR services point at a redirect the provider controls, and those can stop working when a plan or trial ends. A static code works for as long as the LinkedIn link it holds does.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- Yes, it's free, and you don't need an account. There's no watermark, and you can make as many codes as you like.
- Does my link get uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your browser draws the code and runs the scan check, and any logo you add is read straight from your device. Nothing you type or upload is sent to us.
- Can I put the LinkedIn logo or my own logo in the middle?
- Yes. Pick the LinkedIn "in" mark or upload your own PNG, JPEG or WebP. With a logo on, the code switches to the highest error correction level so it still reads with the centre covered, and the tool keeps the logo to about a fifth of the code's width. Check the scan result after you add one.
- What size should I print my LinkedIn QR code?
- As a rule of thumb, print the code itself, not counting the frame, at least 2 cm (0.8 in) across, and bigger for long links like post URLs, which make a denser code. For a poster or a slide, plan on the code being about a tenth of the scanning distance: a code 10 cm wide reads from about a metre.
- PNG or SVG: which should I download?
- PNG for screens and everyday printing. It's 2048 pixels wide, which is plenty for a business card or a flyer. SVG for design tools and large prints, because it scales to any size without going blurry.
- Why won't my QR code scan?
- The usual causes are too little contrast between the code and the background, a light code on a dark background, the plain margin around the code cropped off, a logo that is too big, or a print too small for the distance. The scan check above catches the first three on screen. Also make sure the link opens the page you expect, and that the profile or page is public.
- What happens if I change my LinkedIn custom URL?
- The code holds the link shown under it and can't update itself. If you change your custom profile URL, or the page or post is removed, the old code still points at the old link, so make a new code and replace what you printed.
- Can I make a QR code for a LinkedIn post, newsletter or event?
- Yes. Paste the link to the post, newsletter or event. The tool strips the tracking parameters from app share links, and turns a post link copied from the feed into the post's permanent address. A shortened lnkd.in link won't work, so open it first and copy the full linkedin.com address from your browser.
Give the people who scan something to read.
Oiti, the AI clone for LinkedIn content, studies everything you've already posted, down to how you open a post and the phrases you'd never use. Then it drafts your next posts from that, so there's still something new on your profile weeks after the event.
