About Instagram QR codes

The QR code opens instagram.com/yourname. On a phone with Instagram installed, the profile opens in the app; otherwise it opens in the browser.

Instagram's app has its own QR code feature. This generator gives you more control over how the code looks: your logo, your colors and a frame. A dynamic code also lets you change the account it points to later and see how many people scanned it. Dynamic codes come with a free Hovercode account (3 on the free plan).

Frequently asked questions

What can I enter as my username?
Your @username, the username without the @, or a link to your profile (for example instagram.com/yourname). We use the username either way.
Does it open the Instagram app?
Yes, if the app is installed. Otherwise the profile opens in the phone's browser.
How is this different from Instagram's built-in QR code?
You can add your own logo, colors and a frame, download it as PNG or SVG, and with a dynamic code change where it points later and track scans.
Can I link to a post or reel instead of my profile?
This page creates profile links. For a specific post or reel, copy its link and use the Link option in the generator.
Can I change the account later?
With a dynamic QR code, yes, without reprinting. A static code always points to the profile you entered.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating and downloading the QR code is free, with no watermark and no expiry. Dynamic codes come with a free Hovercode account (3 on the free plan).
