Quick Answer

A LinkedIn QR code is a scannable code that opens your LinkedIn profile, company page, post or event on a phone. Paste your link above, click Create QR code, and download a PNG or SVG for business cards, badges and slides. It holds a fixed U2L short link, so the pattern stays small and easy to scan.

Quick Facts

Works with linkedin.com links, including country subdomains such as uk.linkedin.com and the m.linkedin.com mobile site, plus lnkd.in short links.
Make codes for profiles (/in/), company pages, posts, events and newsletters, not only your own member profile.
The trk, lipi and rcm parameters that LinkedIn adds to copied links are removed before the code is made.
LinkedIn's mobile app can show a QR code for your own profile, which is great for scanning in person. This tool gives you a downloadable file for print instead.
The code holds a U2L short link such as u.gy/ab12c, which fits a 25x25 grid. A profile URL like linkedin.com/in/jane-doe-12345678 needs 33x33 at the same error correction level.
PNG and SVG downloads with dark rounded modules on white and a quiet zone built in. No signup needed to create one.
Codes made here have no expiry date set but can't be edited or counted later; for that, create the code in a free U2L account.

How to create a LinkedIn QR code

Four steps, from your profile link to a code on your card or slide.

1
Paste your LinkedIn link
Copy the link to your profile, company page, post, event or newsletter and paste it into the box. A profile link looks like linkedin.com/in/your-name. The tool shows the cleaned URL the code will open, so check that it's yours before you continue.
2
Create the QR code
Click Create QR code. U2L runs the destination through its link-safety checks, makes a short link that redirects to your LinkedIn link, and draws a QR code that holds the short link. Scan it off the screen with your phone to make sure it lands on the right page.
3
Download PNG or SVG
Pick PNG for slides, email signatures, video call backgrounds and anything else on a screen. Pick SVG for business cards, badges, printed resumes and posters, because vector files stay sharp at any size and print shops accept them.
4
Add it to your card, badge or slide
Place the code with a short prompt such as 'Connect on LinkedIn' or 'Follow our company page', keep the white margin around it, and print a test copy. Scan the printout with an iPhone and an Android phone before you order a full batch.

What is a LinkedIn QR Code Generator?

LinkedIn QR Code Generator is a free tool that makes a LinkedIn QR code: a scannable code that opens your LinkedIn profile, company page, post, event or newsletter when someone points a phone camera at it. It saves people from typing your name into LinkedIn search and picking the right person out of a list of lookalikes.

LinkedIn's own mobile app can show a QR code for your member profile, and other members can scan it to view your profile and connect. It's made for the moment you're standing next to someone with your phone in hand, and LinkedIn's help center has the current steps for finding it.

Printed materials need something different. A business card, a conference badge, a resume or a closing slide needs a file you can place in a design at the right size, and often for a company page, post or event rather than your personal profile. This tool makes that file, as PNG for screens or SVG for print, for any of those LinkedIn links.

The code holds a U2L short link rather than the LinkedIn address, which keeps the pattern small enough for a business card and gives it a stable u.gy or u2l.ai address with no expiry date set. Codes made here are fixed, though: they can't be edited or counted later. For scan counts or a destination you can change, create the code in a free U2L account or with U2L's QR code generator.

How does a LinkedIn QR Code Generator work?

When you paste a link, the page checks it in your browser before anything is sent. It accepts linkedin.com and www.linkedin.com, the m.linkedin.com mobile site, country subdomains such as uk.linkedin.com or de.linkedin.com, and lnkd.in short links. Links to other sites and the LinkedIn home page are turned away with a message that explains why. The tool then removes the trk, lipi and rcm parameters LinkedIn attaches to shared links, drops any # fragment, switches the address to https, and shows you the cleaned URL the code will open.

Clicking Create QR code sends that URL to U2L's short-link API, the same one behind U2L's WhatsApp link generator. The destination goes through U2L's link-safety checks, then U2L creates a short link such as u.gy/ab12c on u.gy or u2l.ai, picked automatically. The QR code is drawn from the short link, not from the LinkedIn address, so scanning the code and tapping the link land on the same redirect.

When someone scans your code, their phone camera decodes the short link and shows it in a small preview. After a tap, U2L redirects the browser to your LinkedIn URL. On phones with the LinkedIn app installed, the system usually hands linkedin.com links to the app, so your profile or page opens there. Otherwise it opens in the mobile browser, where LinkedIn may show a public version of the page or ask visitors to sign in. To push people into the app, U2L also offers a separate LinkedIn deep link generator.

The short link also keeps the code simple. At error correction level M, https://u.gy/AbC123 fits a 25x25 grid of modules. A tidy custom profile URL such as https://www.linkedin.com/in/janedoe/ needs 29x29, a default profile URL with a number suffix or a typical company page URL needs 33x33, and a post URL can need 37x37. On a business card, where the code may be only 2 to 2.5 cm wide, fewer modules means bigger squares that cameras read more easily. The downloads use dark rounded modules (#0f172a) on white with the quiet zone included.

Short links made here have no expiry date set, so the code keeps redirecting after you print it. They are anonymous and fixed: nobody can edit their destination or see their scan counts later. For either, create the code in a free U2L account or with U2L's QR code generator.

Use Cases

How marketers, businesses, and developers use linkedin qr code generator.

Business cards

Replace a long profile address in tiny type with one code that opens your LinkedIn profile. People can connect while they still remember the conversation.

Conference and event badges

Print a code on your badge or lanyard insert so new contacts can scan it in a hallway chat. Organizers can print attendee codes on badges too.

Resumes and CVs

A small code in the header of a printed resume takes a recruiter or interviewer straight to your full profile, with recommendations, projects and activity that don't fit on one page. Put it next to your email and phone number.

Presentation slides

Put the code on your title slide and your closing slide so the audience can follow you or your company page. Leave it up long enough for people to get their phones out.

Trade show booths

A large code on a booth banner or table card opens your company page, where visitors can follow for product news and job openings. Print it big, because booth signs are scanned from a few steps away.

Career fairs and recruiting

Recruiters print a code that opens the company page, where candidates can follow and browse open roles from the Jobs tab. Students and job seekers use a profile code on their own handouts the same way.

Email signatures and video call backgrounds

The PNG fits neatly in an email signature or a virtual background for video calls. People on the call can scan it from their screen to open your profile without interrupting the meeting.

Brochures and sales leave-behinds

Sales teams add a code to brochures, one-pagers and proposals that opens the company page or a case-study post. Prospects can follow along after the meeting.

Event promotion

Link a poster or flyer straight to a LinkedIn event, so people can see the agenda and register their interest. If you plan to reuse the design, make the code in a free U2L account so you can point it at next quarter's event.

Newsletter sign-ups

If you publish a LinkedIn newsletter, a code on slides, printed handouts or a podcast cover image takes readers to the newsletter page where they can subscribe in a tap.

Academic posters

Researchers and students add a code to conference posters that opens their profile, so people who stop by can reach out about the work after the session ends.

LinkedIn QR Code Generator vs LinkedIn's built-in QR code

LinkedIn's mobile app can show a QR code for your own profile, and the app can scan other members' codes too. For in-person networking it's hard to beat: open the app, hold up your phone, and the other person lands on your profile ready to connect. If that is all you need, use it. There is nothing to create or download.

Print is where the two part ways. The built-in code is made to be shown from your phone and covers your own member profile. U2L's version is a PNG or SVG file you can put on business cards, badges, resumes and slides, it works for company pages, posts, events and newsletters too, and its short link keeps the pattern small enough for a business card. Make it in a free U2L account and you can also track scans and change where it points later. Many people use both.

LinkedIn QR Code Generator vs a QR code of your full profile URL

Plenty of free generators will encode https://www.linkedin.com/in/your-name directly, and the code will scan. The cost is density: the whole address goes into the pattern, and a default profile URL with a number suffix needs a 33x33 grid at error correction level M.

A code made here holds a U2L short link instead, which fits in 25x25. On a business card, where the code may be just 2 cm wide, larger modules make the difference between a quick scan and a frustrating one. Both kinds are fixed once created, so if you might change your custom URL, make the code in a free U2L account instead.

Best Practices

Set a custom profile URL first

LinkedIn lets you replace the default profile address, which often ends in a string of numbers, with a cleaner custom URL. Do it before you make the code, so the destination you check is the one you plan to keep.

Match the link to the moment

Use your profile for personal networking, the company page for booths and brochures, and a post or event link for a talk or a launch. One code, one clear destination.

Get your profile ready for visitors

A scan is a first impression. Update your photo, headline and About section before a conference, so people who land on your profile know right away who you are and why to connect.

Use SVG for anything printed

Business cards, badges and printed resumes need clean edges at small sizes. The SVG is vector artwork, so it stays sharp at any size and print shops can place it without quality loss.

Give the code room on a card

Aim for at least 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) wide on a business card, keep the white margin around the code, and keep other text and graphics from touching it.

Add a one-line prompt

A caption such as 'Connect on LinkedIn', 'Follow our company page' or 'Subscribe to my newsletter' tells people what they get.

Test the way people will scan it

Most people will use their phone's own camera, not the LinkedIn app. Scan the printed copy with the camera on an iPhone and an Android phone, with and without the LinkedIn app installed.

Make print-run codes in a free account

Codes made on this page can't be edited or counted later. Before you order hundreds of cards or badges, create the code in a free U2L account instead, so you can see scan counts and point it at a new page if your plans change.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Encoding the LinkedIn home page

A code that opens linkedin.com lands on a sign-in screen or the scanner's own feed, not your profile. The tool rejects the home page for this reason, so paste your profile, company page or post link instead.

Copying a search or feed link

A link copied from search results or your feed opens that view for the scanner, often behind a sign-in, rather than your profile. Open your own profile and copy its /in/ address.

Changing your custom URL after printing

A code made here, like any fixed code, keeps opening your old profile address. If you plan to change your custom URL, do it first, or make the code in a free U2L account so you can update the destination afterwards.

Shrinking the code to fit a crowded card

Squeezing the code below about 2 cm, or crowding text against its edges, makes it hard to scan. Simplify the card layout before you shrink the code.

Stretching the PNG for print

The PNG is sized for screens. Enlarged for a poster or printed at high resolution on a card, its edges blur. Use the SVG for anything that goes to a printer.

Flashing the code for a second on a slide

Audiences need time to unlock their phones and aim. Leave the QR slide up for a while, and repeat the code on your opening or agenda slide so latecomers can scan it too.

Industry-Specific Use Cases

Sales and business development

Reps put a profile code on business cards and a company page code on proposals and leave-behinds, so prospects can connect and follow the company after the meeting.

Recruiting and HR

Career fair banners, job flyers and campus handouts open the company page, where candidates can follow, read about the team and browse open roles.

Events and conferences

Badges carry attendee profile codes, speaker slides carry the speaker's profile, and the event poster opens the LinkedIn event page for updates and registration interest.

Universities and career services

Students add a profile code to resumes and poster presentations, and career offices print codes for the university's LinkedIn page on recruiting-day materials.

Consultants and freelancers

Independent professionals put a profile code on cards, proposals and invoices, giving clients a quick way to see recommendations and past work before the next project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a QR code for my LinkedIn profile?

Open your LinkedIn profile, copy its linkedin.com/in/ address, paste it into the box at the top of this page and click Create QR code. Scan the code from your screen to check it opens your profile, then download the PNG for screens or the SVG for print. No signup needed.

Does LinkedIn have its own QR code?

Yes. LinkedIn's mobile app can show a QR code for your own profile, and the app can scan other members' codes so you can connect in person. The steps can change between app versions, so LinkedIn's help center is the best place to check where to find it.

Should I use LinkedIn's QR code or this one?

Use LinkedIn's in-app code when you are face to face and can hold up your phone. Use this one when you need a file for print, such as business cards, badges, resumes and slides, or when the code should open a company page, post or event. For scan counts and a destination you can change later, make the code in a free U2L account.

Is this LinkedIn QR code generator free?

Yes. Creating a LinkedIn QR code and downloading it as PNG or SVG is free, with no signup. Anonymous creation has hourly and daily limits to prevent abuse; if you reach one, a prompt invites you to sign up for a free account to keep going.

Can I make a QR code for a LinkedIn company page?

Yes. Paste your company page link, such as linkedin.com/company/your-company, and create the code. It works well on booth banners, brochures, packaging inserts and recruiting flyers, where you want people to follow the business rather than a person. Anyone who scans it lands on the page and can follow it with a LinkedIn account.

Can I make a QR code for a LinkedIn post, event or newsletter?

Yes. Paste the link to a post, an event or a newsletter and the code opens it on the scanner's phone. Posts can be edited or deleted later, so for long-lasting print, make the code in a free U2L account, where you can repoint it if needed.

Will the LinkedIn QR code open the LinkedIn app?

Usually, yes. On phones with the LinkedIn app installed, the system typically hands linkedin.com links to the app after the short link redirects. Without the app, the page opens in the mobile browser. U2L also has a separate LinkedIn deep link generator if you need to push people into the app.

Does someone need a LinkedIn account to see my profile from the code?

Anyone can scan the code. What they see without signing in depends on LinkedIn and on your public profile visibility settings: they may get a public version of your profile or a prompt to sign in. Connecting, messaging and following all need a LinkedIn account.

Can I put a LinkedIn QR code on my resume?

Yes. Download the SVG and place it near your contact details in the resume header, at roughly 2 to 2.5 cm wide. Keep a plain white margin around it and test a printed copy. Many people also list the profile address as text for readers who use the file on a computer.

How big should a LinkedIn QR code be on a business card?

Aim for at least 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) wide, with the white margin from the download kept intact. Short links make simple 25x25 codes, which helps at this size. For posters and banners scanned from further away, go much larger and test from the real distance.

What happens if I change my LinkedIn custom URL?

A code made on this page keeps pointing at your old profile address, because its short link can't be edited later. If you might change your custom URL, do it before you print, or create the code in a free U2L account, where you can update the destination and the cards you print keep working.

Can I track how many people scanned my LinkedIn QR code?

Not for a code made on this page: these anonymous short links have no scan counts you can view later. For a code you can count, create it in a free U2L account, or make it with U2L's QR code generator and sign up to track it. Then you can tell whether your conference cards or closing slide brought people to your profile.

Does a LinkedIn QR code expire?

Short links made here have no expiry date set, so the code keeps redirecting after you print it. It only stops being useful if the LinkedIn destination changes or goes away, such as a renamed profile URL or a deleted post. Codes made here can't be repointed, so if the destination may change, make the code in a free U2L account instead.

Why does my LinkedIn QR code contain a u.gy or u2l.ai link?

The code holds a U2L short link that redirects to your LinkedIn link. That keeps the pattern small, a 25x25 grid that scans easily even on a business card, and gives the code a stable address with no expiry date set. The domain, u.gy or u2l.ai, is picked automatically.

Should I download the PNG or the SVG?

Download the PNG for anything on a screen: slides, email signatures and video call backgrounds. Download the SVG for anything printed, such as business cards, badges, resumes and posters. SVG is vector artwork, so it stays sharp at any size.

Can I add a logo or brand colors to my LinkedIn QR code?

Not on this page. Codes here use a fixed design, dark rounded modules on white, which scans reliably on small cards. For brand colors, a logo or a frame, use U2L's QR code generator, which makes codes for the same LinkedIn links with styling options.

Why does the tool reject my LinkedIn link?

The tool only accepts LinkedIn links. It turns away links from other sites, addresses with typos, and the LinkedIn home page, because a code to linkedin.com would not open your profile. Go to your profile, company page or post, copy that link, and paste it again.

What are trk, lipi and rcm in my LinkedIn link?

They are parameters LinkedIn adds to links copied from the app or website, used to track where a click came from. They are not needed to open the page, so the tool removes them before making the code. You can see the cleaned address in the preview under the input.

Key Terms

Short link: A brief web address, such as u.gy/ab12c, that redirects to a longer one. A QR code that holds a short link stays small and easy to scan. Short links made in a U2L account can be edited later; those made on this page are fixed.
Custom profile URL: The personalized address of a LinkedIn profile, as in linkedin.com/in/your-name, which you can set in place of the default one that ends in numbers.
Quiet zone: The blank margin around a QR code that helps scanners find its edges. The QR code standard calls for at least four modules on every side.
Error correction: Backup data built into every QR code so it still scans when part of it is scuffed or covered. Level M, used here, can recover roughly 15% of the code.
Vector vs raster: SVG is a vector format made of shapes that scale to any size without losing sharpness. PNG is a raster format made of pixels, sharp at its own size and blurry when enlarged.
