What is a Spotify QR Code?
A Spotify QR code is a QR code that opens a Spotify link: a song, an album, a playlist, a podcast or an artist page. Anyone can scan it with the camera app of an iPhone or Android phone. Spotify opens, or the link opens in the browser if the app is not installed.
Spotify also has its own code, called a Spotify Code. It is the bar-style code you see in the Share menu of the Spotify app. It is free and made by Spotify. If you search for a Spotify code generator or Spotify code maker, this is what Spotify offers. Spotify’s own instructions tell people to scan it from the camera icon in the Search tab of the Spotify app.
A QR code is the standard square code that every phone camera can read, and you can style it and print it anywhere. This page is a QR code generator for Spotify links, and a Spotify QR code maker for songs, playlists and podcasts. Downloading is free (PNG, SVG or PDF), with no account needed. QR codes for Spotify work on posters, cards and packaging.
Spotify Code or QR code: which one should you use?
A Spotify Code is Spotify’s own scannable code for a song, album, playlist, artist or podcast. You get it in the Share menu of the Spotify app, or you can make one with Spotify’s code tool at spotifycodes.com. It is free, and it always points to the same Spotify item.
Use it when people will scan inside the Spotify app, for example at a gig where fans already have Spotify open, or in a post made for Spotify users. It looks familiar to them and costs nothing.
Choose a QR code when any phone camera should be able to read it, when it is used outside Spotify (a poster, a gift card, a box), when you want your own colors, logo and frame, or when you want to change the link later or count scans with a dynamic code.
Nothing stops you from printing both: the QR code for people with a phone camera and the Spotify Code beside it for fans who scan in the app. If you sell products with music on them, Spotify advises you to get permission from the rights holders first.
How to create a Spotify QR code?
Open the free tool on top of this page. Enter the URL of the Spotify song, playlist, album, or artist profile you want to link to the QR code.
Pageloot offers customization options, such as adding a logo or changing the colors of the QR code. Customize the appearance according to your preferences.
Click on the "Save" button to generate the Spotify QR code.
After the QR code is created, you can download the QR code image to your device or share it directly.
Why Do I Need a Spotify QR code?
A Spotify link is long and hard to type from a poster, a card or a box. A QR code turns it into one scan. The listener lands on your song, playlist or podcast without searching for the name.
Static or dynamic? A static code is enough for a playlist, album or episode that stays as it is, such as a wedding playlist or a gift card. If you only change the songs inside a playlist, its link stays the same, so a static code keeps working.
Choose a dynamic code if the link itself will change, for example when a printed poster should point to your newest release, or when you want to know how many people scan it. Tick Edit later or Track scans in the generator above to start a 14-day free trial. A dynamic code works only while your plan is active, apart from the lifetime deal. See the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
To make a QR code for a Spotify playlist, open Spotify, find the playlist, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. Paste the link into the generator at the top of this page, add your logo and colors if you like, and download the code. Make sure the playlist is public, and test the code on a phone that is not yours.
To get a QR code for a Spotify song, open the song in Spotify, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link, and paste the link into the generator on this page. The code opens that song. For a card or poster, write the song title next to the code. Spotify’s own Spotify Code for the same song is free in the Share menu.

Yes, with a dynamic code. Tick Track scans in the generator to start the 14-day free trial. The stats show when, where and on which device people scanned, with the detail depending on your plan. A free static code does not show these stats.
No. The phone camera reads the code without any account. To play the music, Spotify may ask the listener to open the app or sign in. That is a Spotify rule, and the QR code cannot change it.
Making and downloading a Spotify QR code is free, as PNG, SVG or PDF. A dynamic code, which you can edit later and track, needs a Pageloot plan.

Where to use a Spotify QR code? Examples
Tap on the images to zoom in
Gift cards and greeting cards
Make a playlist for a birthday, a new baby or an anniversary, and print the code on the card. The person scans and listens, and the card becomes part of the gift. A static code is enough, because the playlist link does not change.
Weddings and parties
Put a code on the invitation or on table cards that opens the party playlist. If you make the playlist collaborative in Spotify and use its invite link, guests who scan can add songs. Test the link on your own phone first.
Print the code on T-shirt tags, vinyl and CD sleeves, stickers and tote bags. Fans scan it and hear the record. Keep the code at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in) on a plain light area. With a dynamic code the same sticker can point to your next release.
Show the code on the counter or on tables to share the playlist that plays in your space. Customers can take it home. Write the playlist name above the code so people know what they will hear.
Musicians, podcasters and radio hosts can add the code to a press kit, a business card or an email signature. Journalists and bookers scan and listen without searching. Link to your artist page or show page, because the code then covers every release.
A poster can carry a code that opens the new single or album. Posters are read from about 1 m away, so print the code at least 10 cm wide. Say what it plays, for example “Scan to hear the album”.
How to Get More Scans for a​ Spotify QR code?
-
Name what it plays
Write the song, playlist or show name next to the code, plus a short call to action such as "Scan to listen". People scan when they know what they get. -
Put it where people have time
Venue tables, waiting rooms, merch tables and the back of a gig poster give people time to scan. Do not put it on something that moves past fast.
-
Use one code per placement
Make a separate dynamic code for each poster, card and channel. Scan stats then show which one works, with the detail depending on your plan. -
Keep the design readable
A dark code on a light background scans best. Add your logo and colors, keep a white border, and test the finished code on two phones.
Spotify QR code not working? Check these first
A private playlist opens only for its owner. Other people see an error. In Spotify, make the playlist public before you print the code, then test the code on another person’s phone.
Copy the link from the Share menu of the song, album, playlist or show (Copy link), not from a search or library page. It should start with https://open.spotify.com/. Open it on a phone before you make the code.
Some songs, albums and podcasts are not offered in every country. A listener in a country where the item is missing sees it grayed out or gets an error. Check availability if your audience is international.
On some phones the link opens the Spotify app. On others it opens a web page that asks the listener to open the app or sign in to play. That is how Spotify handles the link, and a QR code cannot change it.
Free 14-day trial. No credit card required.
Which Spotify link can you put in a QR code?
Open the song in Spotify, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. Paste it into the generator at the top of this page. The code opens that song.
Open the album, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. This works well on a vinyl or CD sleeve and on a release poster.
Open the playlist, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. Make sure the playlist is public. Changing the songs does not change the link, so a printed code keeps working.
Open the show page, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. Use the show link for a code that lasts, because new episodes appear on the same page.
Open the episode, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. Use an episode link when you want to promote one guest interview on a card or poster.
Open the artist profile, tap the three dots, choose Share and then Copy link. A good choice for business cards and merch, because the code covers every release.
