LinkedIn QR Code Generator (Free)

1. 1

   Enter your profile name

   Type the part of your profile address after linkedin.com/in/. For a company page, paste its full link instead.

2. 2

   Check the link

   Open “What’s inside this code” and open the link to make sure it’s your profile.

3. 3

   Style it (optional)

   Pick colors and add your logo.

4. 4

   Download it

   Download an SVG for business cards and name badges, or a PNG for slides and email signatures.

5. 5

   Test it

   Scan it with your phone: it should open your profile in the LinkedIn app.

The code holds your public profile’s web address. On a phone with LinkedIn installed it opens in the app, where people can connect or follow.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-morgan

linkedin.com/in/name

A personal profile.

linkedin.com/company/name

A company page. Paste the whole link.

You can make your profile address shorter and easier to scan: on your profile, choose Edit public profile & URL and set a custom URL. Do it before you print, because changing it later breaks the code.

For LinkedIn QR codes

• Put the code on your business card, conference badge or last slide, where people want to connect straight away.
• Check your public profile settings, so people who aren’t signed in can still see your name and headline.
• Pair it with a vCard code if people also need your phone number and email in their contacts.

For any printed QR code

• Size: print the code at least 2 cm (0.8 in) wide for something held in the hand. For signs and posters, make it about a tenth of the scanning distance: roughly 10 cm (4 in) wide to scan from 1 m (3 ft).
• Contrast: use a dark code on a light background. Light-on-dark codes and pale brand colors fail on some phones.
• Quiet zone: keep a blank border of at least 4 modules (the code’s small squares) around it. Don’t crop it or put text and graphics right up against the code.
• File type: use the SVG for print, since it stays sharp at any size. The 2048 px PNG is enough for print up to about 17 cm (6.8 in) wide at 300 dpi.
• Surface: avoid glare from glossy laminate, tight curves (bottles, cups) and folds that cut through the code.
• Test: scan a printed proof with an iPhone and an Android phone, at the real distance and in the real lighting, before you print in bulk.

A dynamic code lets you change where it points, for example from your profile to your company page or a job post, and counts how many people scanned it after an event.

Dynamic codes need a free CirculateQR account. On the free plan a dynamic code stays live for 14 days after you publish it; on a paid plan your codes stay live with no time limit, or you can keep a single code for a one-time $5.

The code you make on this page is static: free, permanent and private, but fixed once printed. Static and dynamic codes compared.
