How to copy your Spotify link
Before you shorten anything, grab the link:
- Open the song, album, playlist, artist, or podcast.
- Tap the ⋯ menu and choose Share → Copy link (or "Copy Song Link").
- You'll get a link like
open.spotify.com/track/...?si=.... The?si=tail is Spotify's share tracking, you can keep it or let a shortener clean it up.
Spotify Codes vs QR codes
Spotify has its own scannable "Spotify Code" (the little soundwave bar under the Share menu). It's handy, but it has one big limit worth knowing before you print anything:
Spotify Code
Only scans inside the Spotify app, using its built-in scanner. A normal phone camera won't open it, so anyone without the app, or who just points their camera, gets nothing.
QR code (from a shortener)
Opens with any phone camera. Point, tap, and it goes straight to your Spotify link, which opens the app or the web player. No special scanner needed.
How to shorten a Spotify link
Three steps:
- Copy your Spotify link — the song, album, playlist, artist, or podcast URL (see above).
- Paste and shorten — drop it into the URL shortener and click Shorten. You get a short
pageloot.com/s/link instantly, with a matching QR code that works on any camera. - Share and track — put it in your bio, post it, or print the QR code, then watch the clicks.
Want it branded? Add your own keyword to the link for free (for example pageloot.com/s/new-single).
Why shorten Spotify links
Clean, branded links
Swap a long open.spotify.com/...?si= URL for a short, branded link that looks better in bios, captions, and show notes.
Track the clicks
Spotify doesn't show you click data on links you share. A short link does, basic free, detailed (location, device, time) on paid.
A QR code that works anywhere
Every short link comes with a QR code that opens on any camera, perfect for merch, posters, vinyl, and flyers.
On a paid Pageloot plan, links are also editable, so a QR code on your merch or poster can point to your latest single or release without reprinting anything.
Where to use short Spotify links
- Link-in-bio and profiles — point fans to your latest track, album, or artist page with one clean link.
- Social posts — share a release on Instagram, X/Twitter, or Facebook with a branded link.
- Merch, posters & vinyl — print a QR code on T-shirts, gig posters, stickers, or record sleeves that opens your music on any phone.
- Gig flyers & business cards — let people scan straight to your Spotify on the spot.
- Podcast show notes & newsletters — a tidy link to the episode, plus a QR code for print. → QR code generator
Spotify links + QR codes
Every short link comes with its own QR code that opens on any phone camera, no Spotify app required to scan. Print it on merch, a poster, or a flyer and anyone who scans it lands on your song, album, playlist, or artist page. On a paid plan you can change that destination later without reprinting, so the same QR can always point to your newest release.

Copy the link to a song, album, playlist, artist or podcast. Paste it into the Pageloot URL shortener and click Shorten URL, then click Copy URL. Any Spotify link works, and you can shorten as many as you need for free.
In the Spotify app, open the song, album, playlist, artist or podcast, tap the three dots menu, choose Share and then Copy link. On the desktop app, right-click the item and choose Share and then Copy link. The link looks like open.spotify.com/track/ followed by an ID. The part that starts with ?si= is Spotify’s share tracking and the link works without it.
A Spotify Code is the soundwave bar under the Share menu. It scans only inside the Spotify app’s own scanner. A QR code opens with the normal camera on an iPhone or Android phone, so anyone can scan it, with or without Spotify installed. For posters, flyers and merch, a QR code reaches more people.
Copy the Spotify link, then paste it into the free QR code generator. Add your colors or logo and download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF. Scanning it opens the song, album, playlist or artist page in the Spotify app or in the web player. This is a static code, which never expires but cannot be edited after printing.
Yes. Shortening links with the free URL shortener costs nothing and you can shorten unlimited links. Add a + to the end of a short link to open a public page with its total number of visits. A Pageloot account adds more, such as editable QR codes and scan stats. It starts with a 14-day free trial, and plans have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
A short link shows its total visits when you add a + to the end. For a QR code you print, a dynamic code in a Pageloot account shows when, where and on what device people scan, and lets you change the destination after printing, for example to point the same code to your newest single. Dynamic codes on a monthly or yearly plan go inactive when the plan ends. See the plans.
Not anymore. Google’s own URL shortener, goo.gl, has been discontinued, so you can’t use it for new links. Any other link shortener works with Spotify, including the free Pageloot one on this site.
Open the original Spotify link first. If it fails, the song, playlist or podcast may be removed, private or not available in that country. Check that you copied the whole link and that the short link has no extra space or character at the end. If the Spotify app is not installed, the link opens in the web player. Then shorten the link again and test it on your phone before you post or print it.
