What an Instagram QR code is
An Instagram QR code is a printed shortcut to your account. Someone points their phone camera at it, taps the link that appears and lands on your profile. No searching for your handle, no typos, no following the wrong account with a similar name.
Our social code opens a small, fast page with your Instagram button at the top. You can add TikTok, YouTube, Facebook or your website under it, so one code covers every place people can find you. If you only ever want Instagram, a website QR code pointed at your profile link opens it straight away.
Good places for one
Shop windows and counters
People walking past can follow you even when you are closed. Put the code at eye level, near the door.
Flyers and posters
Event flyers have little room. One code replaces a line of handles that nobody types in anyway.
Market stalls and merch tables
Makers, artists and musicians can put a code on the banner so the crowd follows before they walk on.
Restaurant tables
Invite guests to tag you in their photos. A small table card gets noticed more than a sign on the far wall.

Tips for print and scanning
More in the printing guide.
Tell people what they get
A frame that says "Follow us" or "See our work" earns more scans than a bare code. People like to know where a code leads.
Size it for the distance
On a label or a card, 2 cm (about 0.8 inch) is enough. On a window seen from 2 meters away, aim for about 20 cm.
Keep the dots dark
Instagram's gradient looks great, but pale pink and orange dots scan badly. Use a deep magenta or purple and keep the background light.
Leave a margin
Keep a clear border around the code, at least as wide as four of its small squares. Do not let text or photos touch it.
Instagram's own QR code or ours?
Instagram shows a QR code for your profile when you tap Share profile. It works, and it is handy for showing someone your screen. But it always opens Instagram only, you pick from Instagram's own colors rather than your logo, and you cannot see how many people scanned it.
Ours is dynamic. It points to a short link you control, so you can add a new profile, switch handles after a rebrand or send people to a giveaway page without reprinting. You also see scan stats by day, city and device.
One plan, every feature
Dynamic codes, scan stats, your logo and frames, hosted pages and every file format are in every plan. Plans renew until you cancel.

Questions
Still stuck?
Read the help center or email [email protected].
Does the code open the Instagram app?
Yes. On phones with Instagram installed, tapping your Instagram button opens your profile in the app. Without the app it opens in the browser, where people can still see your posts and follow after signing in.
Can I change my Instagram handle later?
Yes. Update the link in your dashboard and the same printed code opens the new profile. The short link inside the code never changes.
Can I add more than Instagram?
Yes. A social code can list up to 12 profiles, such as TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn or your website. Put the one you care about most at the top.
Will I see how many people scanned it?
Yes. Your dashboard shows scans over time, the countries and cities they came from and the kind of phone. We count scans of the code, not follows, because Instagram does not share that.
What does it cost?
Designing and previewing need no account. To download, you start a plan with the 7-day trial for $1.00, then $39.99 every 4 weeks until you cancel. Dynamic codes stop working when a subscription ends.
