Facebook QR Code
One mode stores the page or profile URL itself.
Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.
A Dynamic URL code stores the destination on our servers so you can change it later. The printed symbol points at a short address on this site. This redirect is free and best-effort — not a paid, guaranteed service.
This business-card code uses the same vCard format as our <a href="/qr/vcard">vCard tool</a>.vCard tool.
EPS is a classic vector of square modules in a single colour. It does not include a centre mark, a gradient, or shaped modules, because those do not travel reliably in EPS. PDF embeds the current preview as a page-sized image, so colours, shapes and a centre mark are kept. Decorative frames and the caption are included in PNG, SVG and PDF only; EPS stays a plain, unframed code.
How to use it
- 1
Choose whether the scan should open a page or a share sheet.
- 2
Paste the Facebook URL, or the link to share.
- 3
Create the code and test it while signed out, if you want to see what a visitor sees.
What it does
One mode stores the page or profile URL itself. The other stores Facebook’s public share address for a link you provide.
In page mode the URL is normalised and encoded as a static web address. In share mode the tool builds a facebook.com/sharer link for the address you enter.
Why it works this way
This is not an official Facebook product, and it does not log you in or post on your behalf. It only writes a URL into a symbol.
If a page is later renamed or removed, the printed code still holds the old address. We cannot retarget it.
A share sheet still requires the visitor to be able to reach Facebook and, if they post, to use their own account.
Examples
https://www.facebook.com/example
https://www.facebook.com/example
share https://example.com/hours
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fhours
Inputs and outputs
- a Facebook URL, or a link to share
- a static QR symbol whose payload is a web address
Edge cases
- javascript URLs are rejected
- a removed Facebook page will still be the payload of an old print
Frequently asked questions
Do you have access to my Facebook account?
No. Nothing is authorised, and no post is made by this site.
Why is this a separate page from the URL tool?
So a search for a Facebook code lands on a page that also explains the share option, which is a slightly different URL.
Do you store what I type on this page?
No. For a static code, encoding happens in your browser. We do not upload or keep the payload.
Will the printed code still work if this site is offline?
Yes for a static code: the content is in the image. A Dynamic URL code is different — a scan needs this site to redirect, and we do not guarantee that it will stay online.
Do style templates change what a scanner reads?
No. The decorative frame and caption sit outside the quiet zone. Only the QR modules are encoded. Framed styles download as PNG, SVG or PDF; EPS stays an unframed monochrome code.
