QR Code for Social Media
Turn a simple scan into a new follower. Create QR codes that link directly to your Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, or any social profile.
Create Social Media QR CodeWhy Use QR Codes for Social Media?
Telling someone to "find me on Instagram" doesn't work. They have to remember your handle, open the app, search for you, and hope they spell it right. Most people don't bother.
A QR code removes all that friction. One scan takes them directly to your profile. No typing, no searching, no lost followers.
With a dynamic QR code, you can even change which platform it links to later—without reprinting anything.
Social Platforms You Can Link To
Link to your profile, a specific post, or your Linktree. Perfect for retail stores, restaurants, and creators.
TikTok
Send scanners to your TikTok profile or a viral video. Great for events, product packaging, and influencer marketing.
Link to your business page, a Facebook group, or an event. Ideal for local businesses and community organizations.
Connect professionally. Add to business cards, conference badges, or your email signature.
YouTube
Link to your channel or a specific video. Perfect for product demos, tutorials, or promotional content.
X (Twitter)
Send followers to your profile or a pinned tweet. Good for news, updates, and real-time engagement.

Static vs Dynamic: Which Should You Use?
Static QR Code
Links directly to one URL. Works forever, but can't be changed after printing.
Best for: Permanent signage, tattoos, or when you're 100% sure the link won't change.
Dynamic QR Code ✓
Links through our system so you can change the destination anytime. Plus scan tracking.
Best for: Social media links (you might switch platforms), marketing campaigns, or anywhere you want analytics.
We recommend dynamic QR codes for social media. If you rebrand, change handles, or want to promote a different platform during a campaign, you can update instantly.

Tips for More Followers
- • Add a call-to-action — "Scan to follow us" works better than a QR code alone
- • Show what they'll get — "Follow for exclusive deals" or "Behind-the-scenes content"
- • Make it big enough — At least 1 inch (2.5 cm) for close-range scanning
- • Test before printing — Scan it yourself to make sure it goes to the right place
- • Use dynamic codes — Track which locations or materials drive the most follows
