Here is how to create a LinkedIn QR code. One scan opens your profile, so people connect on the spot instead of searching later.
Use it on a business card, a conference badge, the closing slide of a talk, or a printed flyer. Because the code is dynamic, you can point it at a new role or a company page later and the print keeps working.
In the dashboard, click Create new, then Create a QR Code. Click More, pick LinkedIn from the type grid and leave it on Dynamic. Give the code a name, then paste your LinkedIn profile URL. Choose a theme for the code itself, then Download. The code is saved and ready to print.
One field matters. First, paste the full profile link, starting with https. Second, check that it opens the page you expect. Third, remember you can change the link later from the dashboard. The printed code stays the same.
Try it on the seven-day free trial. No credit card, five dynamic QR codes. Link in the description.
When to use a LinkedIn QR code
- Business cards and name badges. Print it on the back of the card or on the badge at a conference.
- Slide decks and handouts. Put it on the closing slide so the room can connect while you are still talking.
- Email signatures and flyers. Change the destination later — a new role, or a company page — without reprinting.
LinkedIn codes can be Dynamic or Static. Dynamic is the useful one here, because the thing most likely to change is where you work. Static bakes the profile URL into the pattern: it cannot be edited and produces no scan data.
Steps in the dashboard
- Start the wizard. Click Create new, then Create a QR Code.
- Pick the type. On the Type step click More, choose LinkedIn ("Open a LinkedIn profile") and leave the toggle on Dynamic.
- Name it. On the Content step type a QR Code Name such as "Conference badge".
- LinkedIn Profile URL. Paste the full link starting with
https://, exactly as LinkedIn shows it — for examplehttps://linkedin.com/in/yourname. - Profile or company page. Either kind of LinkedIn link works in this field. Pick the one you want scanners to land on.
- Design and download. Click Next →, choose a theme on the QR Design step, then Download ✓ and pick a format in Save as.... For a business card, download SVG so the printer can scale it without blurring.

After you download
The code points at a short link we own, so open it and click Edit to swap the destination whenever your profile URL, your role or your company changes. The cards in your wallet keep working.
Dynamic scans are recorded — time, device, operating system, browser, referrer and country — and shown under Full analytics. After an event that tells you how many badges were actually scanned, which is a far better number than counting the cards you handed out.
A vCard Plus code shares your phone, email and address as well as your profile links. If the card is meant to replace a contact entry, use vCard Plus instead.
Common problems
The scan lands on a login wall
LinkedIn shows a sign-up prompt to logged-out visitors on some profiles. Nothing in the code fixes that — test with a phone that is signed in to confirm the link itself is right.
The code opens the app store
The phone has no LinkedIn app and the link was a deep link rather than a normal https:// URL. Paste the plain web address from your browser.
The code is too small on a business card
Aim for at least 2 cm square on a card and keep a clear quiet zone around it. Printing on business cards covers the layout details.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change where it points after printing?
Yes on a dynamic code. Open it, click Edit, paste the new URL and save — the printed pattern is unchanged. Static codes cannot be edited.
Should I use a personal profile or a company page?
Either link works. Use your profile on a badge or business card, and the company page on a stand or a recruitment flyer.
Do I see who scanned my badge?
No. Scans are recorded as time, device, browser and country — never an identity. Connections still happen inside LinkedIn.
Which file format should I send the printer?
SVG or PDF for print. SVG scales to any size without quality loss; PNG at 1024 px or higher is fine for screens.
