QR code for LinkedIn: share your profile from a card, badge or slide
A QR code for LinkedIn opens your profile or company page in one scan, with no searching for your name. Make it, add a logo, and put it on your card, badge or last slide.
No credit card required. Plans from $9 a month after the trial.
LinkedIn already has a QR code, so why make another?
The LinkedIn app can show you a code for your own profile, and that is fine for a quick in-person connection. Make your own when you need something it does not do:
- Change the link later without reprinting, for example from your profile to a company page
- See how many scans a card or conference badge produced
- Style the code and add a logo to match your print
Where it works
- Business cards, where 2 to 2.5 cm is comfortable
- Conference badges and stands (see trade shows)
- The closing slide of a talk, while the audience still has their phones out
How to set it up
- Copy your profile or company page URL from LinkedIn.
- Paste it in, name the code, and add the LinkedIn logo or your own.
- Test the code on a phone, then download it for print.
On most phones, the scan opens the LinkedIn app if it is installed, and the mobile site if not. Use your public profile URL rather than a link copied from a private message or a search page, so it works for people who are not your connections.
Add a short line next to the code, like "Connect with me on LinkedIn", so people know where it goes. At events, one code per person on your team shows which badge or stand drove the connections. For a full contact card, use a vCard code instead, which saves your name, phone and email straight into the phone.
