A social media QR code that finishes with a follow.
Paste a profile link and print the code where people already look. A scan opens the profile straight in the app - nobody retypes your handle from a poster - and you watch which spot actually brings the audience.
- Opens in the app
- Network logo presets
- Scan analytics
Paste the full link to any profile - Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, anything with a URL.
Network logo, colors and frame on the next step.
Free, no signup.
Where the follow actually happens
Print lives in places your bio link never reaches.
The counter asks for the follow
A code by the register, scanned while the guest is already waiting. Follow for the specials, the drop, the next pop-up date. The three idle seconds of every checkout are exactly enough for one scan, and the barista never has to spell out a handle.
Merch and packaging
A code on the tag, a card inside the box. The unboxing moment is when people like you most - some of them even film it.
Posters people walk past
A window poster works the night shift: passers-by scan on the way home, long after the counter closed.
Business cards that outlive the drawer
A code on the back that opens your LinkedIn beats a card that gets filed and forgotten. The profile stays current long after the paper: new title, new company, same printed code pointing at you.
The scan ends inside the app
The code carries an ordinary profile link. What makes it work is the phone: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the rest register their web addresses, so the moment the camera opens that link, the operating system hands it to the installed app. The person lands on your profile with the follow button already on screen.
Compare that with a poster that says find us on Instagram: a search field, a typo in the handle, six lookalike accounts, and the impulse is gone. The code removes every step where people give up. More field patterns live in our scan-to-follow guide.
One scan later - no search, no typing.
Made for profile links
The details that separate a follow magnet from a black-and-white square.
A logo that names the network
14 ready logo presets - Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Messenger, Viber, Facebook and more - or upload your own mark. People see where the code leads before they lift the phone.
Opens in the app, not a search bar
The phone hands a profile link to the installed app on its own. From the camera to the Follow button there is nothing left to type, and nothing left to get wrong.
Scans you can attribute
Every scan is counted. A free account adds the timeline plus device and country breakdowns, so the counter sticker and the merch tag stop being a matter of faith.
Handle changed? Keep the print
Update the destination in the dashboard and every printed code follows - the rebrand survives with nothing reprinted. Works for codes saved in a free account.
Your link, letter for letter
The path of your URL keeps its exact casing - only the domain is normalized. Platforms that treat profile paths as case-sensitive get the link precisely as you pasted it.
Files the print shop will take
PNG for screens, SVG and 300 DPI PDF for stickers and signage, WEBP for the web. Grab everything as a ZIP or send all formats to your email at once.
Three steps, no account
Paste the profile link
Any network, any URL. The full link, not just the handle.
Drop the logo in the middle
Pick the network's preset, add brand colors and a frame.
Print it where eyes already are
Counter, tag, booth, card back. Test on two phones first.
What survives the print run
Five habits that keep a printed code scannable, and five that quietly kill it. The design rules for high-scanning codes go deeper.
Do
- Link the public profile page, like instagram.com/yourname - it works on every phone
- Test with one iPhone and one Android before the print run
- Keep the logo at its preset size - the live checker guards scannability
- Give the code at least 2 cm on tags and stickers, more if scanned from afar
- Pick matte finish for counters and bars - gloss glares under spot lighting
Do not
- No app-only deep links (fb://, intent://) - they break on the other platform
- No private accounts if the goal is follows - the scan hits a locked wall
- No beige-on-cream brand recolor - it looks fine on screen and dies in print
- No printing across a seam, zipper or fold on textile - the grid must stay flat
- No shortening the link through a third-party domain - one more thing that can break
The fine print, answered
Does the code open the app or the browser?
Can one code hold all my networks at once?
What happens if I change my handle or rebrand?
What do the analytics actually show?
Will the logo in the middle break scanning?
Which networks have ready-made logos?
