# Instagram QR code generator

> Make a free QR code for your Instagram profile: type your username, pick a color, add a logo and download PNG, SVG or a print card. Opens straight in the app.

Type your username and get a code that opens your Instagram profile, in your colors, ready for print. No app screenshots needed.

## How it works

Type your username, with or without the @. The code opens instagram.com/yourname, which phones open in the Instagram app when it is installed, and in the browser when it is not.

Instagram has its own QR code in the app, but it comes in Instagram's own styles and as a screenshot. This one is yours: any color, your logo in the middle, sharp at any size as an SVG, and as a print-ready card.

## Profile code or link in bio code?

A code for your Instagram profile is right when the goal is followers. When the goal is sales, bookings or sign-ups, people should land somewhere with all your links instead: the [link in bio QR code](https://makerhandle.com/tools/link-in-bio-qr-code) does that. Instagram profiles allow five links, and [how to use all five](https://makerhandle.com/blog/instagram-five-links-in-bio) covers what to put in them.

## Make the profile worth the scan

People who scan decide in a few seconds whether to follow. A clear bio helps: who you are, what you make, and one line on where to tap. The [bio formatter](https://makerhandle.com/tools/instagram-bio-line-breaks) keeps your line breaks when you paste it into Instagram and counts the 150 characters for you.

## Questions

### Do these QR codes expire?

No. The address is written into the code itself, not routed through a short link, so it works for as long as the page it opens exists. There is no subscription to keep paying.

### Is it really free, with no sign-up?

Yes. The code is made in your browser and downloaded straight from it. Nothing is sent to us and there is no watermark.

### Can I add my logo?

Yes. Upload a PNG, JPG or SVG and it goes in the middle. The code switches to the highest error correction, so it still scans with the middle covered.

### Does it open the Instagram app?

On phones with Instagram installed, instagram.com links open in the app. Without the app, the profile opens in the browser.

### What if I change my username?

The code keeps opening the old username, which stops working. Make a new code after you change it, or point the code at a link in bio page you can update instead.
