How to use the LinkedIn QR code generator

  1. 1

    Copy your LinkedIn URL

    Open your profile and copy the address from your browser. On mobile, tap the three dots under your headline and choose Copy link to profile. Company pages, newsletters, events, and single posts all work too.

  2. 2

    Set your custom URL first, if you haven't

    Go to Edit public profile & URL and claim a clean linkedin.com/in/your-name handle. Do this before you print anything, because changing it later breaks every code already in the wild.

  3. 3

    Paste it in and check the preview

    The code regenerates as you type. Pick 512 px for screens or 1024 px for print, and choose light or dark to suit whatever you're putting it on.

  4. 4

    Scan your own code, then download

    Point your phone camera at the preview and confirm it opens the right profile. Then hit Download PNG and drop it into your card, deck, signature, or banner.

What to use a LinkedIn QR code for

A QR code turns any surface into a one-tap follow button. These are the places it earns its keep.

Networking events and conferences

Pull the code up on your phone and let people scan it instead of spelling out your name in a noisy room. It takes two seconds and the connection lands while the conversation is still fresh.

Business cards

Print the code on the back of your card. A paper card gets filed away, a scan puts you in someone's LinkedIn feed the same afternoon. Use the 1024 px export so it stays sharp at small print sizes.

Email signatures

A small QR code next to your name gives anyone reading on a second screen a one-tap way to follow you. Handy for sales reps and recruiters whose email lands in front of more people than they ever meet.

Slides and webinars

Drop the code on your closing slide. Attendees scan it live rather than trying to remember your name later, which is where most conference-talk follow-up dies.

Booths, banners, and signage

Trade show booths, popup banners, and window displays all work well with a large printed code. Point it at your company page to grow followers, not just personal connections.

Job hunting and portfolios

Add the code to a resume header or portfolio PDF. It gives a hiring manager a live, always-current version of your experience without hunting for the right profile among namesakes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a QR code for my LinkedIn profile?+
Open your LinkedIn profile, copy the URL from your browser address bar (it looks like linkedin.com/in/your-name), paste it into the field above, and download the PNG. The code is generated in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no signup or watermark.
Does this LinkedIn QR code expire?+
No. The code is a plain link to your profile, encoded as a QR image. It works for as long as that URL works. This is the main advantage over the QR code inside the LinkedIn app, which is tied to a session and can change. The one caveat: if you edit your custom profile URL later, older printed codes will break, so lock your vanity URL in before you print anything.
Can I use this for a LinkedIn company page?+
Yes. Any LinkedIn URL works, including company pages (linkedin.com/company/your-company), newsletters, groups, events, and individual posts. Company page codes are the better choice for booths and printed marketing, since they grow followers rather than personal connections.
What size should a printed LinkedIn QR code be?+
A rough rule of thumb is that the printed code should be about one tenth of the scanning distance. For a business card scanned at arm's length, roughly 2 cm square is plenty. For a booth banner scanned from 2 metres away, aim for about 20 cm. Export at 1024 px for anything going to print so the edges stay crisp.
Is it safe to use a free QR code generator?+
It depends on the generator. Many free tools route your code through a redirect domain they own, which means they can track scans, and the code stops working if they shut down or start charging. This tool encodes your LinkedIn URL directly into the image, with no redirect, no tracking, and no account. Everything runs locally in your browser.
Can I change the colors of the QR code?+
You can switch between the light and dark presets above. We keep it to those two on purpose, since contrast is what makes a code scannable. Low-contrast or inverted codes (light dots on a dark background) fail on plenty of older phone cameras, so if you want a branded look, put the color in the frame around the code rather than in the code itself.
