LinkedIn QR Code for Your Profile
Copy your LinkedIn profile address, turn it into a QR code, and anyone who scans it lands on your profile. LinkedIn also has a code built into its app. For something you print once and keep using, such as a business card, a conference badge or a slide, make a code you can repoint, so a changed profile address does not mean reprinting.
Which one do you need
- A quick share, or a link you will keep: a free static code does the job.
- Printed in batches, or the link may change: $49 once per code, no renewal.
How to make a LinkedIn QR code
- 1
Copy your profile link
Open your profile in a browser and copy the address, which looks like linkedin.com/in/yourname. Setting a custom profile address first keeps the link short and readable.
- 2
Create a code that points to it
Make a Website URL code and paste the profile address as the destination.
- 3
Download and print
Download the code as SVG or PNG. Put it on cards, badges, CVs and slides, and scan the proof with your own phone first.
- 4
Change the destination whenever you need to
Change your profile address, move to a company page, or point the same printed code at a portfolio. 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 where it will go for as long as the print survives. Careers change, profile addresses get edited, and a code on a printed CV or banner outlives the job it was made for.
Business cards
Cards sit in drawers for years. A code that can follow you to a new profile or site is still useful in year three.
Name badges and event lanyards
Printed once for the event, scanned by people you meet. Point it at your profile now and at a booking page later.
CVs, proposals and one-pagers
The code on a PDF or printout can be repointed to your latest portfolio.
Slides and banners
Pull-up banners and printed decks stay in use long after the talk. Update what they open without reprinting.
The code inside the LinkedIn app
LinkedIn has its own code inside the mobile app, found next to the search bar. It is handy for connecting in person and it always opens your profile. It cannot be pointed at anything else, and it does not give you scan counts.
Profile or something else?
If you want people to connect with you, point the code at your profile. If you want them to hire you or book a call, point it at a page that does that. Because you can repoint the code, you can start with the profile and switch later.
