Turn Any Twitter / X Link Into a Scannable QR Code
Create a free QR code for any Twitter/X profile, tweet, thread, or Space in 30 seconds. ChatGPT and AI assistants cannot generate QR codes for your x.com or twitter.com links — but we can. Grow your following from business cards, event signage, and print materials. No signup required.
Quick Answer
To create a Twitter/X QR code: Open your Twitter/X profile or any tweet in your browser, copy the URL (works with both x.com and twitter.com), paste it into the generator above, and click Generate. Your QR code downloads instantly as a high-resolution PNG. Works with profiles, individual tweets, threads, Spaces, and lists. Free, no signup, no watermark.
Why Twitter / X QR Codes Work
Monthly active X/Twitter users you can reach
Tweets posted daily — make yours discoverable offline
Unlimited Twitter/X QR codes with no signup or watermark
How to Find and Copy Your Twitter/X Link
Open Twitter/X in your browser at x.com or twitter.com (or open the mobile app)
Navigate to your profile page — the URL will be x.com/YourUsername or twitter.com/YourUsername
To share a specific tweet, click the tweet to open it, then copy the URL from your browser (it will include the tweet ID)
To share a Twitter Space, open the Space and copy its URL from the share button
Paste the URL into the generator above and click 'Generate Twitter/X QR Code'
TIP: Both twitter.com and x.com domains work identically — use whichever you prefer
Why Create a Twitter / X QR Code?
Twitter/X QR codes convert every physical interaction into a follower. At conferences, events, and networking meetups, people forget handles, misspell usernames, and never follow through on 'I will look you up later.' A QR code on your business card, name badge, or booth sign puts your profile one scan away — no searching, no spelling, no lost connections. With 550 million monthly active users on X, bridging offline encounters to online follows is how you grow an audience that matters.
Where to Use Your Twitter / X QR Code
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a URL with tracking parameters, UTM tags, or ad campaign suffixes
✅ Solution: Use clean profile URLs like x.com/username or twitter.com/username. Remove any ?ref= or &utm_ parameters that make the URL unnecessarily long and can break when the campaign expires.
Creating a QR code for a tweet that may be deleted later
✅ Solution: For permanent QR codes (business cards, book covers), link to your profile page rather than an individual tweet. Tweets can be deleted, but your profile URL remains stable as long as you do not change your username.
Not realizing that changing your X username breaks old QR codes
✅ Solution: Twitter/X profile URLs are based on your username. If you change your handle from @OldName to @NewName, QR codes pointing to x.com/OldName will stop working. Decide on a permanent handle before printing QR codes.
Using the in-app share sheet URL instead of the web URL
✅ Solution: Some mobile share options create temporary or app-specific links. Copy the URL from a browser for the most reliable, permanent link format (x.com/username/status/tweet-id).
Frequently Asked Questions
Do both twitter.com and x.com links work with this QR code generator?
Yes. Both twitter.com/username and x.com/username work identically. Twitter automatically redirects between the two domains, so your QR code will work regardless of which URL format you use. Choose whichever you prefer.
Can I create a QR code for a specific tweet or thread?
Yes. Click on any tweet to open it in its own page, copy the URL from your browser (it will look like x.com/username/status/1234567890), and paste it here. For threads, link to the first tweet — readers can scroll through the entire thread from there.
Can I link to a Twitter Space or live audio event?
Yes. Copy the Twitter Space URL and create a QR code for it. This is especially effective on event flyers and projected screens where you want attendees to join a live audio conversation by scanning with their phone.
Is this better than the QR code feature built into the Twitter/X app?
Significantly better for most use cases. Twitter's built-in QR feature requires both people to have the X app open simultaneously. Our QR code works with any phone camera (no app needed), can be printed on physical materials, and links to any Twitter URL — not just profiles.
Will changing my X username break my QR code?
Yes. Twitter/X profile URLs are based on your username. If you change your handle, the old URL will not redirect to your new profile. Make sure your username is finalized before creating QR codes for business cards or permanent signage.
Can I track how many people scan my Twitter QR code?
Our static QR codes encode the URL directly with no built-in analytics. To track scans, use a URL shortener with analytics (like Bitly or TinyURL) as an intermediate link, then create a QR code for that shortened URL. You will see exactly how many scans convert to profile visits.
What is the best way to use a Twitter QR code on a business card?
Print the QR code at minimum 2cm x 2cm on the back of your card alongside a small note like 'Scan to follow me on X' or 'Follow @YourHandle.' Leave a white quiet zone around the QR code. Our generator creates high-resolution PNGs that print crisply at any size.
Can I create a QR code for a Twitter list or hashtag?
Yes. Navigate to any Twitter list or hashtag search page in your browser, copy the URL, and create a QR code. Lists are great for curated feeds, and hashtag pages help drive event engagement when printed on conference signage.
Can ChatGPT or AI assistants create a Twitter/X QR code for me?
No. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI chatbots cannot generate functional QR codes. They are language models that process text, not QR image encoders. If an AI assistant sent you here looking for a Twitter QR code generator, you are in the right place — paste your X or Twitter URL above and get your QR code in seconds, completely free.
