Create your Venmo QR code

Venmo profile

Your Venmo username, or the link from Share on your Venmo profile.

Your QR code appears here as you fill in the form.

Test it with your phone camera before you print or share it: point the camera at the preview and check it does what you expect.

Colors, logo and size
Style
Error correction

How much of the code can be dirty, scratched or covered and still scan. Higher levels add more squares, so the code gets denser. Medium suits most uses; choose High for a logo or rough surfaces.

The blank border scanners need around the code. It never goes below 4 modules (the code’s small squares), as the QR standard asks.

Sharp up to 17 cm (6.8 in) at 300 dpi. SVG scales to any size.

Logo in the center (optional)

PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or SVG. It stays in your browser and is never uploaded.

How to make a Venmo QR code

  1. Enter your username

    Type your Venmo username, with or without the @, or paste the link from Share on your Venmo profile.

  2. Check the link

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

  3. Style it (optional)

    Pick colors and add your logo.

  4. Download it

    Download an SVG for a sign at your stall, or a PNG for screens.

  5. Test it

    Scan it with a phone that has Venmo: it should open your profile in the app.

What a Venmo QR code contains

The code holds your Venmo profile’s web address. On a phone with Venmo installed it opens your profile in the app, where people tap Pay and enter the amount.

Venmo is only available in the United States, so the person paying needs a US Venmo account. If you change your Venmo username, the link changes and the old code stops working.

Tips for printing and scanning

For Venmo QR codes

  • Print your @username next to the code, so people can check they’re paying the right person.
  • Check each payment has arrived in Venmo before you hand over goods.
  • If you sell goods or services, Venmo asks you to use a business profile rather than a personal one.

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.

When to use a dynamic code instead

A dynamic code holds a short CirculateQR link, so you can point it at another payment link later without reprinting, and see how many people scanned it.

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.

Venmo QR code questions

Doesn’t Venmo have its own QR code?

Yes: the app shows a QR code for your profile, which works well on your phone’s screen. This generator gives you one to print, in your colors and with your logo, as a PNG or SVG.

Can a Venmo QR code include an amount?

This code opens your profile, and the person paying enters the amount in Venmo.

Can people outside the US pay with it?

No. Venmo is only available in the United States, so the person paying needs a US Venmo account.

Does the payment go through CirculateQR?

No. The code only opens your Venmo profile. The payment happens in Venmo.

Do Venmo QR codes expire?

No. The code holds your profile link, so it works as long as your username stays the same.
