How to make a LinkedIn QR code
- Copy your LinkedIn URL: open your profile, company page, or newsletter and copy the link from your browser bar (for example, linkedin.com/in/your-name).
- Paste it into the box: the QR preview updates the moment you paste. Works for personal profiles, company pages, and posts.
- Customize (optional): add your headshot or company logo, change the dot and corner style, and match your brand colors.
- Download: grab a high-resolution PNG for slides and print, or an SVG that stays razor-sharp on banners and business cards.
- Test before you print: scan it with your phone camera to confirm it opens the right profile.
Share your LinkedIn in one scan
Reciting your profile URL at a conference never works: people mistype it and the connection is lost. A LinkedIn QR code fixes that: point a phone camera at it and your profile opens instantly, ready to follow or connect. This generator turns any LinkedIn link, personal profile, company page, or newsletter, into a scannable code you fully control, with no LinkedIn Premium and no app.
Why not just use the in-app code?
LinkedIn's built-in QR code only works while both people are inside the LinkedIn app, and it can't be branded, resized, or printed cleanly. The code you make here is a standard URL QR: it works from any camera, exports as high-resolution PNG or vector SVG, and carries your logo and colors. Put it on a business card, résumé, name badge, trade-show banner, email signature, or the last slide of a talk.
Branded, print-ready, and static
Drop in your headshot or company mark, set the dots to your brand color, and export an SVG that scales to any size without blurring. Because it's a static code, there's no redirect service that can expire or start charging. It keeps working as long as your LinkedIn URL exists. Everything is generated in your browser; your profile link is never uploaded or logged.

What this code encodes
https://www.linkedin.com/in/<your-profile-slug>QR code size and scan-distance benchmarks
A QR code printed at 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm reliably scans from 20–25 cm on a modern phone camera. Scale that minimum up by 10× the intended scan distance: a badge lanyard read at 30 cm needs a code at least 3 cm square. Business cards printed at 85 mm × 55 mm (ISO 7810 ID-1) have enough white space for a 1.8 cm code with mandatory quiet zone of 4 module widths on each side. Violating the quiet zone drops scan success rates by up to 40% in controlled tests.
Error correction level choice
QR codes ship with four error correction levels: L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%). The percentage is the share of codewords that can be damaged and still decode. For a clean digital export (PDF, PNG), Level M is sufficient. For screen-printed merchandise or outdoor vinyl where ink bleed and UV fade are factors, use Level Q. Level H increases module count by roughly 60% versus Level L, making the code denser and harder to scan at small sizes - avoid it unless the code will be physically damaged in use.
What this tool does not handle
This generator encodes a single static URL. It does not support vCard 4.0 payloads, dynamic redirect URLs, scan analytics, or password-protected destinations. Tracking click-through rates requires a URL shortener with analytics sitting in front of your LinkedIn profile link before you generate the code. The tool also does not validate whether the LinkedIn URL resolves - paste a broken or suspended profile URL and the QR code generates without error. Verify the destination URL in a safe QR code scanner before distributing printed copies.
Where the built-in LinkedIn QR code lives
Many people searching for a LinkedIn QR code want the one already inside the app. Three taps get you there:
- Open the LinkedIn mobile app on iOS or Android.
- Tap the QR icon at the right end of the search bar.
- Switch between My code, which shows your code, and Scan, which reads someone else's.
That code covers exactly one case: two people, two phones, both on personal profiles. Everything else needs a generated code:
| What you need | In-app code | This tool |
|---|---|---|
| Personal profile code | Yes | Yes |
| Company page code | No | Yes |
| Newsletter link code | No | Yes |
| Working from a desktop browser | No | Yes |
Fix the login wall before you print anything
The most common failure with a printed LinkedIn QR code has nothing to do with the code. If your public profile is switched off, anyone who scans while logged out lands on a LinkedIn sign-in wall instead of your profile. Check it once: open Settings and Privacy, go to Visibility, tap Edit your public profile, and switch your profile's public visibility on. Then test the final code from a private or incognito browser window. If you can see your name and headline while logged out, so can every scanner.
Badge sizes, trim margins, and DPI
Conference badges hang at handshake distance, 30 to 40 cm, so a badge code needs 35 to 40 mm per side, roughly double what a business card carries. On any trimmed print, keep the code at least 5 mm inside the cut line so a drifting blade never clips a corner. Hand the print shop the SVG so it stays sharp at any size; if they insist on raster, size the PNG for 300 DPI at final print size, about 470 px across for a 40 mm badge code. A soft, fuzzy print on cheap stock is the other classic failure, covered in QR code blurred: causes and fixes. On colored card stock, use the transparent background option, explained on the transparent QR code generator page.
Clean the URL before you encode it
- Copy from a desktop browser, not the app share sheet. The mobile share button appends tracking parameters like
utm_sourceandtrkthat add zero value on a printed card. - Strip everything after the trailing slash:
linkedin.com/in/username/is all the code needs. - Length sets density. At correction level M, a 30 character link fits a 29 by 29 module grid; a 60 character tracked link forces 33 by 33, so every module shrinks about 12 percent at the same print size.
- Lock your custom URL first. The code is static, so changing your public profile URL later turns every printed card into a dead link.
Colors that pass a scanner, and how to count scans
Scanners key on the darkness gap between modules and background, and most need roughly a 40 percent gap to lock on. Black on white always reads. LinkedIn blue #0A66C2 on white passes cleanly, so a brand matched card is safe. The inverse fails: white modules on a light blue fill carry too little contrast, and most phone cameras hunt for a second or two, then give up. When in doubt, darken the modules, never the background.
Want scan counts for a 500 card run or a booth banner? Encode a short link on a domain you control and read the hits in your own analytics; the setup is walked through in create dynamic QR links yourself. The same trick removes the dead link risk above: repoint the short link, reprint nothing. And if the card's real job is calls rather than profile views, a phone number QR code on the back puts a call one tap away.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for my LinkedIn profile?
Copy your profile URL from the browser (linkedin.com/in/your-name), paste it into the box above, customize if you like, and download the PNG or SVG. It scans straight to your profile.
Is this different from the QR code inside the LinkedIn app?
Yes. The in-app code only works between two people using the LinkedIn app. This one is a normal URL QR code. It opens from any phone camera and can be branded, resized, and printed.
Can I add my photo or company logo?
Yes: use Advanced customization to upload a logo and set brand colors. High error correction keeps the code scannable with a logo in the center.
Does the QR code expire?
No. It's a static code that encodes your URL directly, with no redirect behind it. It works as long as your LinkedIn link stays the same.
Is my LinkedIn link stored anywhere?
No. The code is generated locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our server.
