What is a LinkedIn QR code?
A LinkedIn QR code is a QR code that contains a LinkedIn link. When someone scans it with the phone camera, the page opens, ready for a connection request or a follow. Nobody has to search for your name or type a long address.
LinkedIn also builds a personal QR code into its mobile app. A LinkedIn profile QR code from the app is fine in person. This page is for the cases where that is not enough. See how to find your LinkedIn QR code in the app, or use the QR code generator for LinkedIn above to create a LinkedIn QR code for any link, with your own design.
How does a LinkedIn QR code work?
For your profile, open it in a browser and copy the address, which looks like linkedin.com/in/yourname. For a company page, use linkedin.com/company/name. For a post or a job ad, copy the link from the post menu or the job page.
Paste the link into the field at the top of this page. Your QR code appears straight away. If the link has a long tail after a question mark, delete that tail. A shorter link makes a simpler, easier-to-scan code.
Upload your logo or a profile photo, pick your colors and add a frame with text such as “Connect on LinkedIn”. Keep the code dark on a light background.
Scan the code with two phones and check that the right page opens. Then generate your final LinkedIn QR code: download PNG for screens and slides, or SVG or PDF for print. The size slider goes from 200 to 2000 px.

Why do I need a QR code for LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is where many people look you up after they meet you. A QR code puts that step on a business card, a badge, a slide or a poster. The other person scans, sees your page and connects while you are still talking.
It works for more than personal profiles. A company can send people to its page, a recruiter to a job ad, and a speaker to a post or newsletter.
LinkedIn's own QR code and a custom code
LinkedIn’s app has its own code for your profile. Open the app, tap the QR icon in the search bar and choose My code. It is the quickest way to connect with someone in person.
That code opens your own profile, lives in the phone app and gives no scan statistics. A custom code from this page is better when you need a code for something else, such as a company page, a post or a job ad, when it has to match your design, or when you want print files and scan data.
Frequently asked questions
On business cards, event badges, slides, resumes, posters, brochures, packaging and job ads. Anywhere a phone camera can see it, the code can send people to your profile, company page or post.
You only need a LinkedIn link. Open your profile, company page, post or job ad in a browser, copy the address and paste it into the generator on this page. You do not need the LinkedIn app.
Yes, in the mobile app. Tap the QR icon in the search bar, then My code. It opens your own profile. A custom code is useful when you need a company page, post or job ad code, your own design, or print files.
Yes. Paste the address of that page into the generator. Check that the link opens in a private browser window first, because LinkedIn can show a shorter page or ask for a login.
A static code from this page is free to download. A dynamic code, which lets you edit the link and see scan statistics, needs a Pageloot plan after the 14-day free trial. The Starter plan is EUR 7 per month, billed yearly.
Make a dynamic code. Tick Edit later above to start the free 14-day trial. After that you can change the destination in your Pageloot account without reprinting. Dynamic codes work only while your plan is active.
Open the phone camera and point it at the code, then tap the link that appears. You can also scan inside the LinkedIn app: tap the QR icon in the search bar and open the Scan tab.
Yes. Upload your logo in the generator above and it appears in the middle of the code. You can also upload the LinkedIn logo, but check LinkedIn’s brand guidelines before you print it. Keep the logo small and test the code with two phones, because a large logo can make the code harder to scan.

Where to use a LinkedIn QR code? Examples
Tap on the images to zoom in
Print a small code on your business card or event badge. People scan it at a conference and land on your profile. Add a frame that says “Connect on LinkedIn” so they know what it does.
Put a code that opens your company page on brochures, packaging, trade-show stands and shop windows. Visitors can follow the page without searching for it.
Print a code that opens the job ad on posters at a career fair, a campus stand or the shop door. Candidates scan it and see the full ad. A dynamic code lets you point it at the next job without reprinting.
Add a code to the last slide of a talk, to your resume or to a PDF. Anyone watching on a screen can scan it with a phone. Download a PNG at the size you need.
LinkedIn QR code not working? Check these first
-
The page asks people to sign in
LinkedIn may require a login to see some pages. Check your public profile settings, or test the link in a private window. -
The link leads to an old page
A changed profile URL, a deleted post or a closed job ad breaks the link. Make a new code, or use a dynamic code and change the destination.
-
The code looks crowded
A very long link makes a dense code. Remove the tail after a question mark in the address, and make the code a little larger. -
The code will not scan
Print it at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in). Use a dark code on a light background, keep a white border, and be careful with a large logo, which hides part of the code.
Which LinkedIn link to use for the code
Use linkedin.com/in/yourname. If you change your custom profile URL later, the old link may stop working, so a printed code can end up pointing nowhere. Set your profile URL before you print.
Use linkedin.com/company/name. The code opens the page, where visitors can follow it. You need the page’s public address, not the admin view.
Use the post menu to copy the link to the post. Posts can be deleted or hidden, so check the link still opens before you print.
Copy the address of the job page. When the job closes, the code leads to an ended ad. A dynamic code lets you change the destination to the next job.
Copy the event or newsletter link and make the code for it. Add a frame such as “Sign up” so people know what happens when they scan.
Open the link in a private browser window. LinkedIn may ask visitors who are not logged in to sign in, or show a shorter version of your page. This depends on your privacy settings, so test it before you print.
When a custom LinkedIn QR code is better
The in-app code opens your profile. A custom code opens any LinkedIn link you paste, including a company page, a post, a job ad or an event.
Choose colors, shapes and a frame, and put your logo in the middle. A LinkedIn QR code generator with logo gives you a code that matches your brand.
Download PNG for screens, or SVG and PDF for sharp printing on cards, banners and signs. You can also make the code from a computer, without the phone app.
A dynamic code shows how many people scanned it, plus when, where and on which device. Use it to compare conferences or posters. Tick Track scans above to start a free 14-day trial.
With a dynamic code you can point the printed code at a new job ad, a new post or a new page. Tick Edit later above to try it.
If you only need your profile on a business card and the link will not change, a free static code is fine. Pay for dynamic only when you need to edit the link or see scans.
