Free TikTok QR Code Generator

TikTok's built-in code, fairly assessed

TikTok gives every account its own code. Open the app, tap Profile, tap the ☰ menu at the top right, tap My QR code. It's right there, it's free, and TikTok calls it a QR code because that's what it is.

For holding your phone up to someone else's phone, it does the job and you don't need us. The limits show up the moment your code stops being a phone screen:

That last row is the one that costs real money, so it gets its own section.

How to create yours

1. Copy the link. Your profile URL is tiktok.com/@yourhandle. For a single video, tap Share on the video and copy the link. For your Shop or a landing page, copy that address instead.
2. Paste it in the generator at the top of this page.
3. Style it. Your brand colours, one of five pattern shapes, your logo in the middle, a frame that tells people what they're getting: "Watch the recipe", "See it in action", "Follow for more". Twenty templates if you'd rather not decide from scratch.
4. Test it, then download. Free, no account. The code encodes your link directly, so there's no redirect through our servers and nothing that expires.

Can people scan it with a normal camera?

A QR code you generate from a TikTok link is an ordinary QR code. Any phone camera opens it: iPhone and Android have read them natively for years, no app needed. It also reads fine from a screenshot in someone's camera roll through Google Lens or the iPhone Photos app.

Inside TikTok there's also a scanner, on the same My QR code screen, top right. It handles codes you point it at and images from your gallery. Useful to know when someone sends you one in a chat.

Practical version: if you're printing something and you want it to work for everyone who walks past, generate the code from your link. Then you're not depending on which app the person happens to have open.

Where a TikTok QR code actually works

Packaging and product inserts. The unboxing video on the box, the how-to-use clip on the insert. People scan when they're already holding the thing.

Shop windows and counters. A window sticker pointing at the video of what's inside. It works after closing time, which is when a lot of people walk past.

Restaurants and cafés. The dish that went viral, on the table tent. Or the behind-the-scenes clip next to the till.

Events, stands and markets. On the booth sign, the tote bag, the badge. Conversations end with a scan instead of "what's your handle again, is it with a dot?".

Business cards and portfolios. For creators, a card with a code to your best video does more than a follower count.

Print ads, flyers and posters. The bridge from paper to a video, which is the whole point of a QR code and still the most underused one.

TikTok Shop. A code straight to the product page, on the packaging of the previous order. Repeat purchases have never been so lazy.

Team recruiting and hiring. The "day in the life" video on a job ad. Candidates get the vibe faster than any bullet list.

It doesn't work? Quick checklist

1. You scanned a login code. Codes on a TikTok login screen expire in seconds and only work from inside the app. Nothing to fix, it's a different animal.
2. The handle changed. The printed link points at a profile that no longer exists. Regenerate, or go dynamic before the next print run.
3. The video was deleted or set to private. A code pointing at one video dies with that video. Profile links are safer for anything long-lived.
4. Too small or too shiny. Under 2 × 2 cm, weak contrast, or gloss under a spotlight. Bigger, darker, matte, and vector files for anything a print shop touches.
5. It opens the browser instead of the app. That happens when TikTok isn't installed, and the page still loads. Nothing broken.
