Why Use This Tool
One scan and the person is inside your channel, your group, or a chat with you. Telegram links open the app directly, which makes them unusually reliable in print.
Opens Telegram on first scan
t.me links hand straight to the app, so a scan lands the person in your channel, group or chat with no username to type.
Fills a channel or group
Point the code at your public channel or group and every scan arrives ready to join, which suits shop counters and posters.
Print-ready PNG, SVG and PDF
Vector downloads stay crisp from a business card to an A2 poster, so the pattern never blurs at the size you print.
Built free in your browser
The t.me link is encoded locally with no account and no watermark, so nothing about your channel leaves your device.
How It Works
- 1
Pick the right kind of link
t.me/yourusername opens a direct chat. t.me/yourchannel opens a public channel. A t.me/+ invite link opens a private group. They behave differently on arrival, so choose the one that matches what you are actually inviting people into.
- 2
Set a public username if you have not
Private invite links are long, random and expire when you revoke them, all bad properties for something printed. A public username gives you a short, permanent, human-readable address that produces a light, robust pattern.
- 3
Prepare what people see on arrival
A channel with no description and no pinned message gives a new arrival nothing to do. Write the description, pin a welcome post that explains what the channel is for and how often you post, and the join rate from print goes up noticeably.

Print it with the promise attached
'Scan for price updates', 'Scan to join the community', 'Scan for support' all work. 'Join us on Telegram' does not, because it names the channel rather than the reason.
Where Telegram beats the alternatives
Broadcast at scale without per-message cost, which makes it strong for price lists, trading and crypto communities, class and course groups, delivery and logistics updates, and any audience already living on the platform. In markets where Telegram is a primary channel, a code on a shop counter or a poster converts better than an email signup form ever will, because there is no form to fill in.
Public username or invite link
Use a public username for anything printed. Invite links are the right tool for a controlled group, but they are long, which makes a dense code, and revoking one silently kills every printed copy. If the group must stay private, accept that the code has a limited life and plan the reprint, or point the code at a short link you control so you can swap the invite behind it.
Measuring joins from print
Telegram reports subscriber counts but not sources. Route the printed code through a tracked short link and you can compare placements and see the join curve against the day the poster went up, which is usually enough to tell whether a placement is working.
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.
