Link in Bio QR Code: 9 Places to Use Yours (and How)

How a QR code for your link in bio works, where to use it, from business cards to shop counters, and tips to make sure people actually scan it.

By the LinkPre team2 min read

Your link in bio works great online. But a lot of the time, people meet you offline: at a stall, a meetup, a college fest, a shop counter.

A QR code turns your link into something they can scan in two seconds. No typing, no spelling mistakes.

How it works

From printed code to your page
  1. Step 1Someone points their camera
  2. Step 2Phone recognises the code
  3. Step 3Your link page opens
  4. Step 4They tap what they need

LinkPre gives every page a QR code to share, even on the free plan.

Nine places to use it

  1. Business cards. Swap the long URL for a code.
  2. Resumes. A recruiter scans, sees your work.
  3. Shop counters or tables. "Scan to book, order or follow."
  4. Posters and flyers. Events, classes, launches.
  5. Packaging. A code on a box or bag leads to reviews or reorders.
  6. Email signatures. Handy when someone reads on a laptop.
  7. Slides. End a talk with a code on the last slide.
  8. Event badges and stalls. People remember scanning.
  9. Your car, window or storefront. Keep it large and simple.

Make people actually scan it

  • Tell them why. "Scan to see my work" beats a lone square.
  • Make it big enough. Roughly a thumbnail or larger, with a quiet border.
  • Keep contrast high. Dark code, light background.
  • Test it on two different phones before you print.
  • Point it at a phone-friendly page. Yours should be.
