Frequently Asked Questions
Is this LinkedIn QR code generator free?
Yes, 100% free with no registration required. Create as many LinkedIn QR codes as you need with no watermarks, no limits, and no hidden fees.
Does LinkedIn have its own QR code?
Yes, LinkedIn has a native QR code in the mobile app (Settings > QR Code), but it only works when scanned with the LinkedIn app. Our QR code works with ANY camera or QR scanner app, making it more versatile for networking events where people may not have LinkedIn installed.
Can I put a LinkedIn QR code on my resume?
Absolutely! Adding a LinkedIn QR code to your resume makes it incredibly easy for recruiters to view your full professional profile instantly. Place it in the header next to your contact info, typically 1 inch square. It shows you're tech-savvy and makes it convenient for hiring managers.
Where should I use my LinkedIn QR code?
Put it on your business cards, email signature, resume/CV, conference name badges, Zoom virtual backgrounds, trade show materials, and professional portfolios. Anywhere professionals might want to connect with you.
Will the QR code still work if I change my LinkedIn URL?
No, if you customize your LinkedIn public profile URL after creating the QR code, you'll need to generate a new one. It's best to customize your LinkedIn URL first (Settings > Public profile > Edit public profile URL) then create the QR code.
What size should the LinkedIn QR code be on business cards?
For business cards, 1 inch x 1 inch (2.5cm x 2.5cm) is ideal. This is large enough to scan easily but doesn't overwhelm the card design. For conference badges or larger materials, you can scale up proportionally.
Can I use this for a company LinkedIn page?
While this works for any LinkedIn URL, company pages are less common for QR codes. Most people use QR codes for personal profiles at networking events. If you want to promote a company page, ensure the URL format is linkedin.com/company/yourcompany.
How is this different from LinkedIn's QR code?
LinkedIn's QR code requires the LinkedIn app to scan it. Our QR code works with any camera app (iPhone Camera, Google Camera, etc.), making it accessible to more people. It's also easier to create from any device, not just mobile.
Do I need LinkedIn Premium to create a QR code?
No! Our QR code generator works with any LinkedIn account - free or Premium. You don't even need to be logged into LinkedIn to create the QR code, you just need your profile URL.
Can I track how many people scan my LinkedIn QR code?
Our free QR codes don't include tracking to protect privacy. However, you can monitor your LinkedIn profile views and connection requests as an indirect way to gauge QR code effectiveness.
Should I put my LinkedIn QR code on my email signature?
Yes, especially if you're job hunting, networking, or in a client-facing role. It makes it easy for recipients to connect with you professionally. Keep the QR code small (0.75-1 inch) in email signatures.
Will this work at virtual networking events?
Yes! You can add your LinkedIn QR code to your Zoom virtual background, share it in chat, or include it on virtual business cards. Participants can scan it from their second screen or save the image to scan later.
Does this work on both iPhone and Android?
Yes! All modern smartphones (iPhone iOS 11+ and Android) have built-in QR code scanning in their camera apps. Point the camera at the QR code and a notification will appear with the LinkedIn profile link.
Can I create a QR code for someone else's LinkedIn profile?
Yes! This is useful for event organizers creating QR codes for speakers, HR creating codes for new hires, or anyone promoting another professional. Just paste their public LinkedIn profile URL.
How long does a LinkedIn QR code last?
Forever, as long as your LinkedIn profile exists and your URL hasn't changed. There's no expiration date. It's not a subscription-based service - once you download it, it's yours to use indefinitely.
