Make a free Facebook QR code that opens your page on scan
This Facebook QR code generator turns your page username into a scannable code. One scan opens your page, where people can follow, read reviews, check hours, or message you. Put it on storefront windows, flyers, vans, receipts, and event signage.
The code is static and free, with no account needed. It does not expire and opens your page for as long as your page link works. To change where it points after printing, or to count scans, save it as a dynamic code in a free QRplify account. If the goal is a conversation instead of a follow, the Facebook Messenger QR code generator opens a chat thread with your page directly.
What a Facebook QR code does
- Opens your page: the code carries your facebook.com link. Posts on a Page are public, so even people who are not on Facebook can see them.
- Works from a username: type the part after facebook.com/ in your page link, or paste the link itself.
- Handles pages without a username: paste the long profile.php address from your browser and the code keeps it whole.
- Stays fixed: the printed code always opens the same page.
Where a Facebook QR code works best
- Storefronts: a window sticker for hours, updates, and reviews.
- Local services: vans, yard signs, and printed quotes for trades.
- Restaurants and cafes: table cards pointing at events and specials.
- Receipts and invoices: a follow ask at the moment the job is done.
Get your link from Facebook
Your username shows below your Page's name. Facebook's own example is @JaspersMarket for a Page named Jasper's Market. It is also the part of your link after facebook.com/.
On a computer:
- Type the name of the Page or profile in the search box at the top of Facebook, then click Search.
- Click its name in the results.
- Copy the link from your browser's address bar and paste it into the generator above.
On a phone:
- Open m.facebook.com in your browser.
- Tap Search and type the name.
- Tap the Page or profile.
- Press and hold the address bar, then tap Copy.
No Page username yet? An admin can create one on a computer: switch into the Page (your profile photo, then See all profiles), then go to Settings & privacy, Settings, Page setup, Name, and Edit next to the username.
Facebook's own QR code, or this one?
Facebook's Help Center describes its own QR code for groups only. A group admin gets it on a computer:
- Go to facebook.com/groups and select the group.
- Click the 3 dots at the top right of the group.
- Select Share, then Share via QR Code.
- Copy the code or download it.
Only admins can get it, and hidden private groups have none. A scan opens the group's About page, where people can request to join.
Use Facebook's code for a group you admin. Use this generator for a Page or a profile:
| Facebook's group QR code | This generator | |
|---|---|---|
| Made for | A group you admin | A Page or a profile |
| Who can make it | Group admins, on a computer | Anyone, in a browser, with no account |
| Design | As Facebook makes it | Your colors, the Facebook logo or your own, and a label such as "Scan to find us" |
| Files | Copy or download | PNG, JPG and SVG, or a PDF poster or business card |
| Change it after printing, count scans | Not in Facebook's steps | Yes, as a dynamic code in a free QRplify account |
How to create it
- Enter your page username: in the field above. Pasting your full page link works too.
- Check the preview: scan it and confirm your page opens, not a namesake.
- Style it: the Facebook logo sits in the center by default. Change the colors, upload your own logo, and add a label such as "Scan to find us". For a sign or a card, turn on Make a printable design: a poster or a business card with the headline "Find us on Facebook", which you can edit.
- Download: PNG at 4096 px for print (3000 px on an iPhone or iPad), JPG for screens, SVG at any size. With a printable poster or business card on, you get a PDF sized for print in place of the SVG.
Scan test on 2 phones before printing. A static code cannot be edited later, so confirm the destination first, or keep a dynamic version in a free QRplify account and print that one.
Tips for reliable scans
- Say why to scan: "Scan for hours and updates" outperforms a bare code.
- Keep contrast high: a dark code on a light background scans best.
- Keep the quiet zone: leave clear space around the code.
- Test both systems: scan once on iPhone and once on Android before a print run.
Which Facebook link to put in the code
The code opens exactly the link inside it, so pick the destination by what you want people to do after the scan.
- A page: enter the page username above. Pages are public by design, so they are the safest target for a business.
- A profile: enter the profile username, or paste the profile.php link. What people see depends on that profile's privacy settings.
- A group or a single post: copy the share link from Facebook and paste it into the URL QR code generator, which keeps the link exactly as you copied it.
Before you make the code, open the link on a phone where you are signed out of Facebook. That shows you what a visitor without an account sees.
When the code opens the wrong thing
A printed code keeps opening the same link. When a scan disappoints, the cause is usually the destination:
- A private group: people who are not members can see its name and request to join, but not its posts. If the group is hidden, only current, invited and former members can see its name.
- A deleted or hidden post: Facebook shows a "content isn't available" page. Point a new code at a live link.
- A namesake page: a similar name or a branch page opens instead of yours. Scan the preview and check the page name before you print.
Facebook rules to know before you print
- Usernames: letters, numbers and periods only, at least 5 characters, and 1 per Page or profile.
- A new username means a new link. Changing it changes your facebook.com/ address, and Facebook warns you may not get the old username back. A static code keeps the old link, so make a new code, or print a dynamic code you can update.
- Inactive Pages can lose their username. Facebook can remove a Page's username for inactivity. A code built on it would then point at an address your Page no longer uses.
- Group web addresses: admins can set a custom address for a group on a computer, using letters, numbers and periods. In a group of more than 5,000 members, it cannot be changed once set.
- Giveaways: a contest, giveaway or sweepstakes announced or run on your Page must follow the laws that apply, such as official rules and clear terms. Entrants must release Meta from liability and acknowledge that the promotion is not sponsored or run by Meta, and entry must not require or reward sharing, reposting or tagging others. The poster's Offer design starts with "Follow & win" and "Terms apply": replace both with your real offer and terms.
FAQs
Can I link a personal profile instead of a page?
Yes. Enter the profile username, or paste the profile link: the code keeps the address and drops any "?" part, except on a profile.php link, which stays whole. For a business, use a Page: Facebook describes Pages as the place where businesses and brands connect with their customers, and posts on a Page are public.
My page has no username. What do I enter?
Open your page in a browser and copy the full address, including the profile.php part. The generator keeps that link whole, so the scan still lands on your page.
Can the code open a chat instead of the page?
Yes, with a different type: the Messenger QR code generator opens a message thread with your page.
Can I change the destination after printing?
Not on the static code: it holds your Facebook link itself. After you download, the card under the buttons offers Save it as an editable code, free. It opens the sign up for a free QRplify account, and the account starts with this code, design included, as a dynamic QR code. Print that version, and you can change where it points and count its scans. The card does not show while a printable poster or business card is on.
Does Facebook make its own QR codes?
For groups, yes. A group admin opens the group on a computer, clicks the 3 dots, then selects Share and Share via QR Code. Hidden private groups have none. For a Page or a profile, Facebook's Help Center describes no QR code, so copy the link and make the code above.
How do I make a QR code for my Facebook profile?
On a computer, click your profile picture and name at the top left of Facebook. Your username shows in the address bar, after facebook.com/. Enter it above, scan the preview and download. On a phone, open m.facebook.com in your browser, go to the profile, press and hold the address bar and tap Copy.
What is a 6 digit code generator for Facebook?
That is a security code for logging in. With extra login security turned on, Facebook asks for a code when you log in from a new device, sent by text message or made by an authentication app such as Google Authenticator. The generator on this page makes a QR code for your Page and plays no part in logging in.
How do I make my own Facebook QR code for free?
Copy your Page link, paste it into the generator at the top of this page, pick a design and download PNG, JPG or SVG. The static code is free, needs no account and does not expire.
Publish your Facebook QR code
Enter your page username above, add a label, and scan test on 2 phones. Export PNG for print, JPG for screens, or SVG at any size.
