Print or display your profile's QR code

Want your profile's QR code on a flyer, a table tent, a window, or a business card? The on-screen code in the Share panel is great for showing someone in person, but it can't be saved as a file. To get a high-quality image you can print, use the free QR Code Generator. It's no trouble.

Before you start

This is a different code from the one in your Share panel. The Share-panel code is for letting someone scan your profile off your phone. It has no download button. To get a file you can print, you paste your profile link into the generator on this page.

You'll need your profile link first. Open the Share panel on your phone and tap Copy, or follow how to share your profile. Have that link ready before you start.

Download my QR code

Here's the whole flow, start to finish. You build the code on one page, then download it as an image file you can save and reuse.

1. Go to the QR Code Generator.
2. Paste your profile link into the Link field at the top. This is the step people miss. The generator starts with an example link, so you have to swap in your own.
3. Watch the Live Preview on the right. It redraws as you type.
4. Test the preview with your phone camera before you do anything else. Point your camera at the screen and check that it opens your profile.
5. Pick a color and shape if you want (see below). The plain black code works fine too.
6. Select Download PNG for a ready-to-use image, or Download SVG for a version that scales to any size.

The button flashes a green "Downloaded!" check, and the file lands in your downloads folder, named qr-code. That's your code. It's ready to drop into a flyer, a poster, or a print order.

Print my QR code for a flyer, table, or window

A printed code has to be big and clear enough for a phone to read it from where people stand.

1. Make your code by following the steps above, and download it.
2. For a flyer or table tent, Download PNG is the one most people want. Drop it into your design and you're done.
3. For anything large, like a window decal or a poster, use Download SVG instead. SVG is a vector file, so it stays sharp at any size.
4. Keep a clear margin of empty space around the code. A code crammed to the edge of the paper is harder to scan.
5. Print a test copy first. Stand where a real person would stand and scan it with your phone.

Rule of thumb: the farther away people stand, the bigger you print the code. A window code someone scans from the sidewalk needs to be far larger than the tiny one tucked onto a business card.

Save my profile QR as a PNG or SVG

The generator gives you two file types, and which one you pick depends on how you'll use it.

• Download PNG gives you a ready-made image. It works in almost any app, like documents, slides, social posts, and most print orders. The PNG comes out at 1024 by 1024 pixels, which is sharp enough for normal printing.
• Download SVG gives you a vector file. It has no fixed size, so a designer or a print shop can blow it up as large as you need with no blur. Pick this for big signs or when a printer asks for vector art.

Not sure? Start with PNG. Reach for SVG only in two cases: when something looks soft at a large size, or when a print shop asks for it by name.

Get a big, high-quality QR code for printing

For a code that scans cleanly at any size, two things matter most: the file type and a tidy design.

1. Use Download SVG for the sharpest result at large sizes. A vector file never blurs, no matter how big you print it.
2. If you'd rather use a PNG, the 1024-pixel export is large enough for most flyers, signs, and stickers.
3. Keep the design high-contrast. A dark code on a light background scans best. Very light colors or a busy background can make a code hard to read.
4. Leave the margin (the empty space around the code) generous. Crowding the code is the most common cause of a print that won't scan.
5. Always scan your printed proof before you order a big batch.

Put a QR code on a business card or sticker

Small codes are the fussiest. There's less for a camera to lock onto, so every detail counts.

1. Make and download your code as above.
2. On a small surface like a card or a sticker, keep the design plain. A plain shape with strong contrast reads better at tiny sizes than a fancy one.
3. Give the code its own breathing room. Don't let text or art touch it.
4. Download SVG is the safest pick here, since your printer can size it exactly to the card and keep every edge crisp.
5. Print one and scan it with your phone before you order the full run.

Styling your code so it still scans

The QR Code Generator has two tabs, Style and Options, so your code can match your brand. (You'll also see a Logo tab marked Soon. Adding a logo to the center isn't available yet.)

• Style sets the look of the code itself: a Color, the Dot Style, and the Eye Frame and Eye Ball (the three corner squares). Randomize rolls a fresh combination, and Reset to defaults puts it back to plain black.
• Options sets the frame: the overall Shape, a Transparent background toggle, a Border, and the Margin around the code.

One rule keeps a styled code working: keep strong contrast between the code and its background, and don't shrink the margin to nothing. After any change, scan the Live Preview with your phone to be sure it still opens your profile.

My printed code won't scan

A code that scanned fine on screen but fails on paper usually comes down to one of these:

• It's too small for the distance. Print it larger, or move it closer to where people stand.
• The contrast is too low. A pale code on a colored background is hard to read. Go back to the generator, set a dark Color on a light background, and download again.
• There's no margin. If text or art crowds the code, a camera struggles. Add space around it and reprint.
• The print is blurry. A stretched PNG can soften. Use Download SVG and have it printed from the vector file.

Fix one thing, print a single test copy, and scan it before you commit to a full run.

The code opens the wrong page, or a "not found" page

The generator only knows the link you typed. If the code opens the wrong place, the Link field had the wrong address. Paste your real profile link and download a new code.

If the scan reaches a "not found" page, your profile is likely still private. A profile has to be published before the public can open it. Open your profile settings, turn on Published, save, then test the code again. The code itself doesn't need redoing. Only the page it points to has to be live.

My handle changed and now the code is wrong

A printed code is fixed once it's on paper. If you change your handle after printing, your profile link changes, and the old printed code points to the old address. Make a fresh code with your new link and reprint. To avoid this, settle on your handle before you do a big print order.
