LinkedIn QR Code

Paste a LinkedIn URL, or enter the profile or company path and say which kind it is.

Everything runs in this browser. Text, files and the finished image are not sent to a server.

Pick a look — colours, modules, frame and caption. Works with any content type; your fields stay as they are.

What does a style template change?

It applies colours, module style, a decorative frame and a short caption. Your field values stay as you left them. The frame and caption are drawn outside the quiet zone, so they are not part of the encoded data.

Which download formats include the frame and caption?

PNG, SVG and PDF. EPS stays a classic unframed monochrome code, because that format is meant for simple print workflows.

Does the caption get encoded in the QR code?

No. A scanner reads only the QR modules. The caption is a label on the card, fitted in at most two lines, including in Arabic (right to left).

Can I still change colours after picking a template?

Yes. A template is a starting style. You can adjust colours and download again. Switching templates or type pages does not clear the fields you already filled in.

Can I use a style with a different content type?

Yes. Styles are only looks. A review-card look works on a website URL, Wi-Fi, vCard or any other type. Changing the content type keeps the style you picked.

Customise Colours, shapes, size, border and centre mark. Optional — a style template already sets these.

The image stays in this browser. It is not uploaded. Adding one switches error correction to H.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste the LinkedIn URL, or type the path and choose person or company.

  2. 2

    Download the image and test a scan while signed in and signed out if you can.

  3. 3

    Add the code to a badge, a slide, or a card only after the right page opens.

What it does

Paste a LinkedIn URL, or enter the profile or company path and say which kind it is. The finished address is written into a static QR symbol and does not depend on this site at scan time.

A full linkedin.com or lnkd.in URL is normalised and encoded. If you type only the path, it is turned into https://www.linkedin.com/in/<path> or /company/<path> according to the person/company setting.

Why it works this way

This complements a vCard: a vCard drops contact details into an address book, while a LinkedIn code sends someone to the page you want them to follow or connect with.

If you later change your public profile URL on LinkedIn, you will need a new code.

Company pages and personal profiles use different paths, so pick the right option when you type a short path rather than a full URL.

Examples

person, path ada-lovelace
https://www.linkedin.com/in/ada-lovelace
a personal path is prefixed with /in/
https://www.linkedin.com/company/example
https://www.linkedin.com/company/example
a complete company URL is encoded as given after normalisation

Inputs and outputs

  • a LinkedIn URL, or a path plus a person/company choice
  • optional design settings
  • a static QR symbol whose payload is a LinkedIn web address
  • PNG, SVG, PDF, or a classic EPS

Edge cases

  • addresses that are not on LinkedIn are rejected
  • a path with slashes should be pasted as a full URL instead

Frequently asked questions

Should I use this or a vCard / business-card code?

Use a vCard or the business-card page when you want details to land in a phone book. Use this when you want the scan to open LinkedIn. Many people print both.

Does the scan require a LinkedIn login?

LinkedIn may ask the person to sign in, depending on the page and their device. That is LinkedIn’s behaviour, not something this generator controls.

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.
