How to create an Instagram QR code

Type your username, such as @yourbrand, to link to your profile. Or paste the link of a specific post or reel (tap ⋯ → Copy link in the app).
Choose colours that match your brand. A dark code on a light background scans best.
Download the PNG for social media and print, or the SVG for professional printing at any size.

Why use this instead of Instagram's own QR code?

Instagram can show a QR code inside the app, but it is designed for screens. With HAYAQR you get a high-resolution PNG and a vector SVG that stay sharp on large posters, your own colours and style, and a scan test that confirms the code reads correctly before you print. You can also link directly to a single post, reel or highlight, which is perfect for a promotion.

Where to place your Instagram QR code

Product packaging and thank-you cards: “Follow us for new arrivals”.
Restaurant tables and receipts: invite guests to tag you and follow your daily specials.
Shop windows, counters and shopping bags.
Business cards and flyers for photographers, artists, coaches and creators.
Events and pop-up stalls: run a “follow and win” giveaway with a code on the banner.

Tips to get more followers from scans

Give a reason to scan: “Scan for 10% off”, “See how it's made” or “Daily outfit ideas”. A bare code gets far fewer scans than one with a clear benefit.
Link to your best content: a pinned reel or a highlight with offers often converts better than the profile grid.
Keep your profile public, or visitors will only see a “This account is private” message.
Size matters: print at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) on cards and much larger on posters people see from a distance.

Other social networks

Frequently asked questions

Does the code open the Instagram app?

Yes. On phones with Instagram installed the profile or post opens in the app; otherwise it opens in the browser.

Can I link to a single post or reel?

Yes. Copy the post or reel link in Instagram (⋯ → Copy link) and paste it into the box.

Will the code still work if I change my username?

No. The username is part of the link, so create a new code after changing it.

Is this an official Instagram tool?

No. HAYAQR is an independent free tool. It creates a standard QR code that links to your public Instagram page.

Can I add the Instagram logo to the QR code?

Our QR code with logo tool lets you add an image to the middle of the code. Make sure you follow Instagram’s brand guidelines when using its logo.
