Why Use This Tool
A code that opens your Snapchat profile from any phone camera, not just from inside the app. Useful on anything printed for a young audience who will not type a username.
Adds you from any camera
A scan opens your profile with the add button showing, so there is no username for a young audience to type.
Wider reach than a Snapcode
A QR scans from the default camera on every modern phone, not only from inside the Snapchat app.
Bright and branded
Add colors, your avatar and a centre logo so the code gets noticed in a busy festival or campus layout.
Free, no watermark
Download PNG, SVG or PDF at no cost for events, packaging and noticeboards, with no account to set up.
How It Works
- 1
Use your public profile link
Snapchat gives every account an address in the form snapchat.com/add/username. That is the link to encode: it opens the app to your profile with the add button visible, and it works in a browser for anyone without the app.
- 2
Check the username you are encoding
Usernames are not display names, and people routinely confuse the two. Copy it exactly from your profile settings, and scan your own finished code before printing anything, a code that adds the wrong account is the sort of error that only surfaces after a thousand flyers.
- 3
Design it for a young, mobile audience
Bright, branded and obvious beats subtle. Put your logo or avatar in the centre and label it clearly, because a plain square in a busy layout gets ignored by exactly the people you want scanning it.
- 4
Place it where phones are already out
Events, festivals, campus noticeboards, retail fitting rooms, packaging aimed at teenagers. Snapchat codes fail on formal print and succeed where the audience is social and standing still.
Snapcodes versus QR codes
Snapchat's own Snapcode, the ghost surrounded by dots, only scans from inside the Snapchat camera. Anyone who does not already have the app open, or does not know the gesture, gets nothing. A QR code pointing at your public profile scans from the default camera on every modern phone, which is a much larger audience and a much shorter path. Print the QR code; use the Snapcode inside the app where it belongs.
Where it is genuinely worth doing
Brands and creators with an audience under about twenty-five, campus and student marketing, live events and festivals, and retail aimed at teenagers. Snapchat is a private, high-frequency channel rather than a discovery one, so the ask should reflect that, you are inviting someone into a conversation, not asking for a follow, and the copy next to the code should sound like it.
Measuring it
Snapchat will not tell you a friend came from a poster. Route the code through a tracked short link and you get scan counts, times and locations before the redirect happens, which for event and campus work is usually the only number you will ever get.
Free Tool vs a Free linkutm Plan
Every code on this page is free to make and never expires. A free linkutm plan adds what a printed code cannot do on its own, editing the destination and counting the scans, with no credit card required.
Editable codes, scan tracking, and analytics are included on the free plan. Your own domain, logo, frames, and team seats come with a paid plan when you need them.
Free plan available. No credit card required.
