Free LinkedIn QR Code Generator

Mid-conversation at a conference, nothing is slower than spelling out your name and hoping the right profile comes up. Paste your LinkedIn link above and download the PNG for a name badge, resume, slide, or booth sign, so a single scan opens your profile or company page for a new contact.

How to make your QR code

Open your LinkedIn profile or your company page and use the share option to copy its link.
Paste the address into the box above.
Click Generate to build your code.
Click Download PNG and save the image where you can find it.
Scan it with a phone that is not logged in as you, if possible, and check that the right page appears.

Tidy your profile link first

LinkedIn lets you customize your public profile address so it reads like your name instead of a string of digits. Do this before you make the code. A shorter address also makes a simpler picture that is easier for cameras to read from a distance.

If you change the address after printing, the old code may point to nothing. Choose the final version, then generate.

Copy your public profile link, not the address of whatever screen you happen to be on. A link from inside your settings or activity feed may only open for you, and scanners would be left staring at a page they cannot use.

Conferences, networking, and resumes

A code on a name badge or lanyard card lets people connect while you are still talking. People read a badge from about arm's length, so aim for roughly 6 cm (2.4 in), and print it on card stock that does not curl.

On a resume, tuck the code near your contact details. If your resume is sent as a PDF and read on a screen, a code is hard to scan from the same device, so type your profile address in plain text beside it.

On a booth sign, use your company page link instead of your own profile. Employees come and go, so a company page code outlasts a personal one.

What strangers will see

Anyone who scans sees whatever your public profile shows, which can be less than what your connections see. Review your public profile settings and make sure your photo, headline, and summary say what you want a new contact to know.

You will not see who scanned, so follow up the old-fashioned way: after meeting someone, send a short note mentioning where you met.

At an event, carry a few printed copies of the code on cards as well as having it on your phone. People can scan a card without waiting for you to unlock your screen.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my LinkedIn profile link for a QR code?

Open your profile and use the option to share or copy your profile link. If you have customized your public address, use that version, since it is the cleaner link and makes a simpler code.

Can I put a LinkedIn QR code on my resume?

Yes. Download the PNG and place it near your name or contact details. Print a test page and scan it first. If recruiters will read the file on a screen, add your profile address as text too.

Can I make a code for a LinkedIn company page?

Yes. Use the company page's link in place of your personal profile link. This suits booths, brochures, and hiring posters because the page does not depend on one person.

Will the code still work if I change jobs?

A personal profile link follows you, so the code keeps working as long as your public address stays the same. A company page code is different: if your employer closes the page, the code stops being useful.
