Why Use This Tool

Make QR codes for Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok and more. One free generator for every social platform, no signup needed.

Free, Unlimited, No Signup

Generate as many QR codes as you need without an account, a trial, or a credit card. Free codes carry a small linkutm wordmark in the bottom corner; create an account to replace it with your own logo or remove it entirely.

Your Data Never Leaves the Browser

Every code is encoded and rendered locally in JavaScript. Wi-Fi passwords, contact details, and campaign URLs are never uploaded to a server or logged anywhere.

Designed, Not Just Generated

Twelve ready-made designs pairing eight module styles with shaped finder patterns, brand colours, and gradients. Export a code that looks like it belongs on your packaging, not like a default black square.

Print-Ready PNG, SVG, and PDF

Download a 1200px PNG for digital, a vector SVG that scales to a billboard without a single soft edge, or a print-ready PDF. Copy straight to the clipboard when you just need it in a deck.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Choose one platform, not five

    The most common mistake in printed social marketing is a row of small icons and codes. A wall of squares gets scanned by nobody. Pick the single platform where you are actually active and where your customers already are, and give it the space to be scanned.

  2. 2

    Enter your handle

    Select the network above and type your username — the generator applies the right address pattern for that platform, so you do not have to remember whether it wants an @ or a full URL.

  3. 3

    Brand it so people know whose it is

    Add your logo in the centre and print the platform name and handle beside the code. The decision to scan is made on trust, and an unlabelled square supplies none.

  4. 4

    Use one code per placement so you can compare

    Window, menu, receipt, packaging and flyer are different audiences at different moments. Separate tracked codes tell you which one produces followers and which one produces nothing.

One code, or a link page?

If you genuinely need several destinations — socials plus a shop plus a booking page — do not print several codes. Use one Multi-URL code that opens a hosted page listing all of them, with each link tracked separately. It takes one square instead of five, it can be reordered after printing, and it tells you what people actually tapped, which a row of static codes never will.

Choosing the platform that earns the space

Match the platform to the medium and the audience rather than to your posting habits. Local services and community businesses do best on Facebook and WhatsApp. Visual retail, food and hospitality do best on Instagram. B2B, recruitment and professional services do best on LinkedIn. Under-25 consumer brands do best on TikTok and Snapchat. Anything instructional does best on YouTube. If your honest answer is that you are not active anywhere, fix that before printing a code that leads to a dormant account.

Give people a reason, not a logo

A platform logo next to a code is an instruction to follow a brand, which is a favour you are asking for. Naming what they get — the specials, the restock alerts, the how-to videos, the community — is an offer. Across every network, benefit-led copy beside a code outperforms brand-led copy, and it costs nothing to write.

Free Tool vs linkutm Platform

Every code on this page is free to make and never expires. The linkutm platform adds the parts a printed code cannot do on its own — editing the destination, and counting the scans.
