Free LinkedIn QR Code Generator — Profile & Company

If the LinkedIn app is installed (most US professionals have it), scanning deep-links directly into the app on your profile with the Connect button one tap away. If LinkedIn isn't installed, the URL opens in the mobile browser at linkedin.com, which prompts the scanner to sign in or install the app. Either path lands on your profile; the deep-link path converts higher because Connect is one tap rather than three.

Yes — use the company page URL (linkedin.com/company/yourcompany). Best for recruiting flyers, trade-show booth signage, corporate sponsorship materials, and any case where building company follower count matters more than building personal connections. Personal profiles and company pages serve different goals; pick the right one per QR.

LinkedIn's built-in QR (Profile → "Find Nearby") only reads inside the LinkedIn app — point an iPhone or Android camera at it from the home screen and the camera shows a baffling string, not a deep link. EZQR generates a standard URL QR that any phone camera scans, with or without LinkedIn installed. For any printed deployment outside the LinkedIn app, always use a standard URL QR.

Yes — and for thought-leadership or campaign-specific QRs, this often converts better than a profile URL. Copy the post URL via ... → Copy link to post. The QR opens the post directly; the Connect action is one tap from there. Use case: an op-ed reprint with the QR linking to your follow-up commentary post.

Personal profile URLs (linkedin.com/in/yourname) survive job changes — the URL is yours forever, only the job title and company change on the profile. Company page URLs change if the company rebrands or gets acquired. For long-life printed assets (business cards designed to last 2+ years), use a dynamic QR so you can repoint to a new profile or company URL without reprinting.

Static QRs don't track scans — the URL is encoded directly with no analytics layer. With a dynamic QR ($5/mo Lite plan), every scan is logged in the EZQR dashboard: timestamp, device type, city-level location, scan count per code. LinkedIn's profile analytics shows who viewed your profile but doesn't differentiate viewers who came from a QR scan vs LinkedIn search.

Static LinkedIn QRs encode the linkedin.com URL directly — no server lookup, no dependency on EZQR. Every printed business card and resume keeps opening your profile forever, as long as your LinkedIn URL stays active. Only dynamic codes need an active subscription for the redirect.

Point it at whichever relationship you want. Personal profiles convert better at events, because people connect with people. Company pages suit trade-show booths and recruitment stands. There the brand is the draw.

They land on the public version of the profile, which shows your headline and summary but hides most detail behind a sign-in prompt. That prompt costs you a meaningful share of scans. For a mixed audience, a vCard code hands over your details with no login at all.

You can, but it only works inside LinkedIn's own scanner, not a phone camera. That is the catch nobody mentions. A code generated from your profile URL opens for anyone with any camera, which is what you want on printed material.

Every static code pointing at the old URL breaks, and LinkedIn does not redirect old custom URLs. Settle your vanity URL before printing anything. If you expect it to change, use a dynamic code so the printed run survives.

Only alongside your contact details, not instead of them. A card whose only code opens LinkedIn asks the recipient to log in before they can reach you. Put a vCard code on the card and save LinkedIn for the booth backdrop.

No. LinkedIn reports profile views without telling you how anyone arrived, and a QR scan looks like any other visit. A dynamic code gives you scan counts and timing, which at least tells you whether the printed piece works.
