LinkedIn QR code generator
A LinkedIn QR code is a QR code that opens your LinkedIn profile when scanned, so someone you meet can view and connect with you without typing your name into search. Paste your profile URL — or just the slug after /in/ — below, and download the code as a PNG or SVG. It is free, runs entirely in your browser, and the code never expires because it encodes the URL itself.
Your QR code appears here.
A sample code is shown. Paste your profile URL and it becomes yours.
Add your LinkedIn URL or slug to enable downloads.
Everything runs in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored. The code is static: it encodes the URL directly, so it never expires and needs no service behind it.
One thing worth knowing before you print this: a LinkedIn QR code only sends people to LinkedIn. You will never know who scanned it, how many people did, or whether anyone followed through — and unless they choose to connect, LinkedIn owns that relationship, not you. For a poster or a slide that is fine. For a business card you hand to prospects, it is a real gap, and it is the honest reason a live card with scan tracking and lead capture is worth an account.
This LinkedIn QR code is permanent — that is the catch
Your details are encoded into the image itself. Change your phone number, job title, or company, and every card, badge, and flyer already carrying this code is out of date. There is no way to edit it after it is printed.
- One QR code that never changes — update your details any time and every printed code follows.
- See who scanned, when, and from where, instead of never knowing.
- An AI assistant on your profile answers questions and saves the contact while you sleep.
How to find your LinkedIn profile URL
On desktop (linkedin.com)+
- Log in to linkedin.com, click "Me" in the top navigation, then "View Profile".
- Copy the URL from your browser address bar — it looks like linkedin.com/in/your-name.
- To customize the slug, click "Edit public profile & URL" on the right side of your profile and set a custom URL. Do this before generating a QR code you plan to print, because changing it later breaks the code.
In the LinkedIn mobile app+
- Tap your profile photo in the top left, then "View Profile".
- Tap the three-dot "More" button below your headline and choose "Contact info" — your profile URL is listed there.
- Tap the URL to copy it, then paste it into the field above. Pasting just the part after /in/ works too.
Not sure what a profile slug is?+
- Every LinkedIn profile lives at linkedin.com/in/ followed by a unique slug — for example linkedin.com/in/ada.
- This tool accepts any form: the full URL, the /in/ada path, or the bare slug "ada".
- Whatever you paste, check the "encoding" line under the field to confirm the final URL is right before you download.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a QR code for my LinkedIn profile?
Paste your LinkedIn profile URL — or just your profile slug, the part after /in/ — into the generator on this page, and the QR code appears instantly. Download it as a PNG for screens or an SVG for print. It is free, needs no account, and the code is generated entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
Does LinkedIn have a built-in QR code?
Yes, in the mobile app. Open the LinkedIn app and tap the QR code icon on the right side of the search bar to see your code and scan other people’s. The catch is that it lives inside the app: you cannot easily download it as a clean, high-resolution file for a business card, slide, or badge. A generator like this one gives you the same destination — your profile — as a print-ready PNG or SVG you actually control.
Where do I find my LinkedIn profile URL?
On desktop, open your own profile and copy the URL from the browser address bar — it looks like linkedin.com/in/your-name. In the mobile app, open your profile, tap the three-dot More button, and choose Contact info to see the URL. You can also paste just the slug (the part after /in/) into this tool and it will build the full URL for you.
Do LinkedIn QR codes expire?
No. The code generated here is static: it encodes your profile URL directly into the image, with no shortener or service in between. It keeps working for as long as that URL exists, with nothing to renew and nothing that can be switched off. The flip side is that the code itself can never be edited after it is printed.
What happens to my QR code if I change my LinkedIn custom URL?
The code breaks. A static QR encodes the exact URL it was created with, so if you later change your custom URL in LinkedIn’s settings, every printed copy of the old code leads to a dead page. Either keep your custom URL stable once the code is in print, or use a dynamic QR code that points to a short link you control and can redirect at any time.
Can I change the color of my LinkedIn QR code?
Yes — use the color picker on this page to restyle the dark modules. Keep the code dark on a light background: scanners read the contrast between modules and background, and a light foreground color (yellow, light gray, pastel anything) can make the code unscannable. If you want it on-brand, LinkedIn’s blue and most dark brand colors scan fine; when in doubt, test with your own phone camera before printing.
Can I put a LinkedIn QR code on my business card or resume?
Yes, and both are common. On a business card, print it at least 2 cm across with a clear margin so cameras can find its edges, and use the SVG download so it stays sharp. On a resume, a small code next to your contact details lets a recruiter jump straight to your profile from a printed page. Always scan the final printed version once with your own phone to confirm it opens the right profile.
Can I see who scanned my LinkedIn QR code?
No. A static QR code sends the scanner directly to linkedin.com — there is no step in between where anything can be measured, so you never learn who scanned it, when, or how many people did. The relationship also lives entirely inside LinkedIn: unless the person chooses to connect, you have no way to reach them. A digital business card with a dynamic QR fixes both: you see every scan, and visitors can leave their contact details with you directly.
