A LinkedIn QR code opens your profile the moment someone scans it, so new contacts can connect without typing your name. You can make one free in under a minute with the steps below.
Step 1: Copy your LinkedIn profile link
- Open LinkedIn and go to your profile.
- Click 'Edit public profile & URL' on desktop, or tap the three dots and 'Share profile via' on mobile.
- Copy the link — it looks like linkedin.com/in/your-name.
- Tip: set a custom URL first (linkedin.com/in/firstname-lastname). It looks cleaner and is easier to read aloud.
Step 2: Turn it into a QR code
Paste the link into the Linkly QR code generator at /qr-code-generator. Pick a dark color on a light background, add your initials or company logo in the middle, and download PNG for screens or SVG for print.
Static or dynamic: which should you choose?
A static QR code encodes your LinkedIn URL directly. If you change your custom URL later, the printed code breaks. A dynamic QR code points to a short Linkly link that you can redirect any time, and it counts scans. For business cards and conference badges you'll print in bulk, go dynamic.
Even better: link to a page with all your links
Most people want more than LinkedIn: your email, portfolio, calendar booking link and website. A free link-in-bio page at /link-in-bio puts them all behind one QR code, and you can edit it after printing.
Where to use your LinkedIn QR code
- Business cards — the back side, at least 2 cm wide.
- Conference badges and lanyards.
- The last slide of a presentation, with the caption 'Connect with me'.
- Email signatures for in-person meetings shown on screen.
- Resumes and portfolios — see our guide on putting a QR code on a resume.
- Trade-show booth signage.
Frequently asked questions
Does LinkedIn have its own QR code?
Yes, the LinkedIn mobile app has a built-in QR code, but you can't brand it, track scans or change where it points. A custom QR code fixes all three.
Is a LinkedIn QR code free?
Yes. Static QR codes on Linkly are free forever with no signup. Scan tracking and editable destinations come with Pro.
What happens if I change my LinkedIn URL?
A static code stops working. A dynamic code keeps working — you update the destination in your dashboard and the printed code follows.
How big should a LinkedIn QR code be on a business card?
At least 2 cm (0.8 in) square with a white quiet zone around it.
