Instagram QR Code for Your Profile

Copy your profile address, turn it into a QR code, and anyone who scans it lands on your Instagram. For something you will print once and keep using, such as cards, packaging or a stall sign, make the code one you can repoint, so renaming or moving the account later does not mean reprinting.

Which one do you need

  • A quick share, or a handle you will keep: a free static code does the job.
  • Printed in batches, or the account may change: $49 once per code, no renewal.

How to make an Instagram QR code

  1. 1

    Copy your profile link

    Your Instagram profile address looks like instagram.com/yourhandle. Open your profile in a browser and copy the address from the bar.

  2. 2

    Create a code that points to it

    Make a Website URL code and paste the profile address as the destination.

  3. 3

    Download and print

    Download the code as SVG or PNG. Use it on cards, packaging, menus, stall signs and shop windows, and scan the proof with your own phone first.

  4. 4

    Change the destination whenever you need to

    Rename the account, move to a new one, or point the same printed code at a link page or a Facebook page. You edit the destination and the printed code stays the same.

Why the code is worth keeping flexible

A plain code stores your profile address inside the pattern. Whatever address it held on the day you printed it is the address it will open for as long as the print survives. Handles get changed, accounts get replaced, brands move to a link page. A code that goes through a redirect can follow you.

Business cards

A card is reprinted rarely and kept for years. A code that follows your handle through a rebrand outlasts the box of cards.

Packaging and thank-you cards

Orders go out with a thank-you card with a code to your profile.

Market stalls and shop windows

A sign that stays on the stall all season. Point it at a new account or campaign without printing a new sign.

Menus and flyers

Printed in batches, handed out for months. The code can change what it opens while the batch is still in circulation.

Profile or link page?

If you want people to land on one place, point the code at your profile. If you have a shop, a booking page and a profile, point it at a single page that lists them. Because you can repoint the code, you can start with the profile and switch later. For multi-link pages, see our social bio page.

Instagram QR code questions

Copy your profile address (instagram.com/yourhandle), create a Website URL code with it as the destination, download the code and print it. Instagram also has its own code inside the app, which is handy for sharing from your phone.
