How to Find and Copy Your Pinterest Link

Navigate to the profile, board, or specific pin you want to share via QR code
Copy the URL from your browser's address bar — for profiles it looks like pinterest.com/username
For boards, the URL format is pinterest.com/username/board-name
For individual pins, click the pin to open it and copy the URL (pinterest.com/pin/1234567890)
Paste the URL into the generator above and click 'Generate Pinterest QR Code'
TIP: For shop pages, navigate to the Shop tab on your profile and copy that URL to drive traffic directly to your products
Why Create a Pinterest QR Code?
Pinterest is the world's most powerful visual discovery platform with 480 million monthly users, and QR codes are the fastest way to drive physical-world traffic to your boards, pins, and shop. Interior designers share mood boards with clients at consultations. Wedding planners hand brides a single QR code instead of emailing links. Retailers bridge in-store browsing to online inspiration. Every unscanned Pinterest board is lost engagement — a QR code on your catalog, business card, or storefront makes sure your visual content reaches the people standing right in front of you.
Where to Use Your Pinterest QR Code
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Linking to a secret or private board that the public cannot view
✅ Solution: Check the board visibility in Settings. Secret boards are only visible to you and invited collaborators. Change the board to Public before creating a QR code, or scanners will see an empty or error page.
Using a Pinterest search results URL instead of a specific board or pin
✅ Solution: Search result URLs are temporary and change constantly. Always link to a specific profile (pinterest.com/username), board (pinterest.com/username/board-name), or pin (pinterest.com/pin/ID) for a stable QR code.
Not optimizing the landing board for a strong first impression
✅ Solution: The board or profile a scanner lands on should have a clear title, compelling description, attractive cover image, and recent pins. First impressions determine whether someone follows or bounces.
Forgetting to include a call-to-action alongside the QR code
✅ Solution: Always add context next to your printed QR code, such as 'Scan for wedding inspiration' or 'Browse our full collection on Pinterest.' Without context, people will not know what the QR code leads to and may skip it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create a QR code for a specific Pinterest board?
Yes. Navigate to any board on Pinterest, copy the full URL from your browser (it looks like pinterest.com/username/board-name), and paste it into the generator. The QR code will open directly to that board when scanned, showing all the pins in the collection.
Does this work with Pinterest business accounts and shop pages?
Yes. Both personal and business Pinterest accounts work. For business accounts, navigate to the Shop tab on your profile, copy the URL, and create a QR code that drives traffic directly to your product listings. You can also track referral traffic in Pinterest Analytics.
Can I create a QR code for an individual pin or Idea Pin?
Yes. Click any pin to open it in full view, copy the URL from your browser (pinterest.com/pin/1234567890), and create a QR code. This is especially useful for linking printed recipe cards, DIY instructions, or product catalogs to a specific piece of content.
Will the QR code update if I add more pins to the board?
Yes. The QR code links to the board URL, which always shows the current content. Add, remove, or rearrange pins as much as you want — the QR code does not need to be regenerated. Scanners will always see the latest version of the board.
Is this different from Pinterest's built-in Pincodes?
Pinterest discontinued Pincodes in 2020. Our QR codes are standard QR codes that work with any phone camera — no Pinterest app required. They are more universal, work on all devices, and can link to any Pinterest URL (profiles, boards, pins, or shop pages).
What is the best way to use a Pinterest QR code for a wedding?
Create a Pinterest board with all your wedding inspiration (colors, flowers, venues, dresses). Print the QR code on save-the-date cards, planning packets, or bridesmaid proposal boxes. Everyone in the wedding party can scan to see the full vision board and contribute their own finds.
How can I use Pinterest QR codes for my retail business?
Print QR codes on product tags, shelf displays, or shopping bags that link to Pinterest boards showing styling ideas, customer photos, and complementary products. This extends the in-store experience to visual discovery and increases average order value through inspiration-driven upselling.
Can I track how many people scan my Pinterest QR code?
Our static QR codes encode the URL directly without built-in analytics. To track scans, use a URL shortener with click tracking (like Bitly) as an intermediate link, then create a QR code for that shortened URL. Pinterest Analytics will also show increased traffic from the QR code referral source.
Can ChatGPT or AI assistants create a Pinterest QR code for me?
No. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI chatbots cannot generate functional QR codes. They process text, not visual QR encoding. If an AI assistant recommended you find a Pinterest QR code generator, you are in the right place — paste your Pinterest URL above and download your QR code in seconds, completely free.
