Turn Your LINE Link Into a Scannable QR Code
Create a free QR code for your LINE ID, group, or Official Account in 30 seconds. Works with line.me/ti/p/ personal links, LINE Official Account URLs, and group invite links. Scannable by any phone camera, not just the LINE app. Essential for business in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia. No signup, no watermark.
Quick Answer
To create a LINE QR code: open LINE, tap Home, tap the person-with-plus icon in the top right, then tap 'QR code' to see your personal code — tap the share icon to copy your line.me/ti/p/ link. For an Official Account, copy the URL from LINE Official Account Manager. For an OpenChat group, use the share sheet and choose 'Copy Link'. Paste the link into the generator above and download a high-resolution PNG that any phone camera can scan, not just the LINE app.
Why LINE QR Codes Work
monthly active LINE users, concentrated in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia
people in Japan use LINE — it is the default business contact channel
unlimited LINE QR codes, scannable by any camera app
How to Find Your LINE ID, Group, or Official Account Link
For your personal code, open LINE, tap 'Home', then tap the add-friend icon (a person with a plus) in the top-right corner
Tap 'QR code', then tap the share icon to copy your personal link, which looks like line.me/ti/p/~yourlineid
If you have not set a LINE ID, go to Home, Settings, Profile, and set one — without it there is no permanent public link to your account
For a LINE Official Account, log into manager.line.biz, open your account, and copy the account URL or your @handle link
For an OpenChat group, open the chat, tap the menu, choose 'Invite', and select 'Copy Link' — note that some OpenChat invite links can be set to expire
Paste the URL into the generator above and click 'Generate LINE QR Code'
Test the finished code with a phone that is not logged into your LINE account, so you see what a stranger sees
TIP: LINE's in-app code is designed to be scanned by LINE's own scanner. If the code is going on a shop window, a menu, a flyer, or a business card, generate a standard QR code from your line.me link instead — a passer-by with no LINE installed still lands somewhere useful rather than nowhere.
Why Create a LINE QR Code?
LINE has around 200 million monthly active users, and in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia that concentration makes it the default channel for almost everything: talking to friends, contacting a business, receiving a receipt, booking an appointment. Roughly two thirds of Japan's population uses it. But LINE's own QR code lives inside the app and is built for LINE's own scanner, which creates a specific failure mode for printed material: a passer-by who opens their camera out of habit gets nothing, and someone who does not have LINE installed has no idea what they just failed to scan. A standard QR code encoding your line.me link behaves the way people expect. Any native camera on any phone opens it, LINE's web handler launches the app if it is installed, and if it is not, the visitor lands on a page that explains what they are looking at and offers the install. For a shop window facing a street of tourists, a business card handed across a table in Bangkok, or a menu that anyone might pick up, that difference is the difference between converting everyone and converting only your existing users.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Creating a QR code before setting a LINE ID
✅ Solution: Without a LINE ID there is no permanent line.me/ti/p/ link for your account. Go to Home, Settings, Profile and set one first, then generate the code from that link.
Using a screenshot of LINE's in-app QR code for printing
✅ Solution: A screenshot is screen resolution and will look soft or fail entirely at print size. Generate a high-resolution PNG from your line.me link instead — it prints cleanly at any size.
Printing an OpenChat invite link that has an expiry set
✅ Solution: Check the invite settings before printing. If the link can expire, point your printed code at a stable page you control that carries the current invite, so you can update the destination without reprinting.
Assuming customers will scan with the LINE app open
✅ Solution: Most people reach for the camera, not a specific app. A standard QR code works from the camera, which is why it converts better on anything a stranger will scan.
Cropping the printed code right up to the pattern edge
✅ Solution: QR codes need a white quiet zone around all four sides to be readable. Keep at least four modules of white margin, and print no smaller than 2 x 2 cm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get my LINE QR code?
Open LINE, tap Home, tap the add-friend icon (a person with a plus) in the top right, then tap 'QR code'. Tap the share icon to copy your line.me/ti/p/ link, and paste that into the generator above to get a code any phone camera can read.
What is my LINE link?
It is line.me/ti/p/~yourlineid, where yourlineid is the LINE ID you set in Settings under Profile. If you have never set a LINE ID, there is no permanent public link to your account — set one first, then generate the code.
Can someone add me on LINE by scanning with their normal camera?
With a standard QR code encoding your line.me link, yes — any native camera app opens it and LINE's web handler takes over. LINE's own in-app code is built for LINE's scanner and often does nothing when pointed at with a plain camera app, which is why it is the wrong choice for anything printed.
How do I create a QR code for a LINE Official Account?
Log into LINE Official Account Manager at manager.line.biz, open your account, and copy the account URL or @handle link. Paste it into the generator above. Official Account codes are the right choice for shop windows, menus, and packaging because they do not expire.
Can I make a QR code for a LINE OpenChat group?
Yes. Open the chat, tap the menu, choose Invite, then Copy Link, and paste it above. Check whether the invite link has an expiry set first — if it does, point your printed code at a stable page you control instead, so you can refresh the invite without reprinting.
Does a LINE QR code work outside Japan?
Yes. LINE works internationally and a standard QR code encoding a line.me link resolves anywhere with an internet connection. Usage is heaviest in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, but the code itself has no regional restriction.
Is the LINE QR code generator free?
Yes. No account, no email, no watermark, no scan limit, and no expiration. The code is generated in your browser and downloads as a high-resolution PNG suitable for print.
Can ChatGPT create a LINE QR code for me?
No. ChatGPT and other AI assistants cannot generate functional QR codes — they are language models with no image-encoding capability, and any character grid they output will not scan. If an AI assistant sent you here, paste your LINE link above and download a working code in seconds.
