QR code for a Facebook page

Your page or profile URL in a code. Paste the whole address — Facebook has too many address shapes to guess one from a name.

A Facebook QR code stores the address of a Facebook page or profile, which a phone opens in the Facebook app.

Facebook URLThe full address, including https://. Pages, profiles and groups all work.

Style this code

Style this code — colour, shape, branding, frame and output

Colour & contrastThe ink, the paper behind it, and the three eyes. Every choice is contrast-checked as you make it.

Foreground

18.0:1 against the background — clears the 4.5:1 a camera wants margin on.

Background

Transparency0%

Eye colours

ShapeHow the squares are drawn. The three eyes are styled apart from the data, because a scanner finds the code by them.

Modules

Every shape here is decode-tested before it is offered. Shapes that lose the symbol — diamond, star, heart — are not on this list, however good they look.

Eye frame

Eye centre

BrandingYour mark on the code. Every picture here costs scanability — the notes say how much, and the preview is the truth.

Logo image

Upload a logo

PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2MB. The modules beneath it are cleared and error correction rises to cover the hole.

Background picture

Upload a picture

Sits behind the modules, quiet zone included. A busy picture is the classic reason a decorated code stops scanning — check the preview with a phone before printing.

Foreground texture

Upload a texture

Washes over the ink itself, so it is capped well below full strength — at full strength there is no code left to scan.

Frame & captionA border and a line of text around the code — the "scan me" that tells a passer-by what it is for.

Frame style

A frame is drawn outside the quiet zone, never into it — the canvas grows instead, so the border cannot cost the code its margin.

OutputWhat comes out of the download buttons, and what the symbol actually carries.

Automatic picks the smallest encoding that carries your text, and is right almost always. The other three exist for older scanners that expect one specific encoding; each refuses text it cannot carry rather than mangling it. Encodings we cannot convert to correctly are not offered at all.The margin never goes below 4 — ISO/IEC 18004's minimum; smaller is not a QR code. A logo raises error correction to at least Q. Encoding is chosen by the encoder per symbol and shown in the readout — a manual charset menu only makes codes bigger.

Embedded data

https://facebook.com/exampleThe exact text the symbol carries — what any scanner will read out.

A press file at the finished size: 3mm bleed, crop marks and a trim box a print shop’s checks read. The code is drawn black on white whatever the design above — how a colour prints is something only a test print can show.

The address is checked, not assembled

Facebook pages live at /yourname, at /pages/… and behind numeric ids, and a profile is different again. A URL built from a page name is a guess, and a guess that 404s after a print run cannot be corrected. What you paste is validated as being on Facebook and encoded as it stands.

It cannot count scans and it cannot follow

A static code has nothing in its path to observe a scan, and no platform lets a scanned code like or follow on someone’s behalf. "Scan to follow us" describes something that does not happen.

Rename the page and the code dies

The address is in the ink. If a rename is plausible, print a dynamic code pointing at the page instead, so the destination can move without a reprint.

Facebook QR codes

Why will it not accept my link?

It must be on facebook.com or fb.com. A shortener is refused rather than encoded, because we cannot tell what it points at and neither can the person scanning.

Will it open the app?

If installed and it claims the link. Otherwise the browser, which shows the same page.

Can I make one for a group?

Yes, if the group has a public facebook.com address.

Does it work if the page is unpublished?

No — an unpublished page is visible only to its admins, so the scan lands on an error. Publish the page before the code goes to print.

Want to change it after it’s printed?

Make it a dynamic code: it carries a short link you can point somewhere new at any time, and it counts every scan. A free account includes 5 dynamic codes and needs no card — and a dynamic code keeps redirecting even if you never upgrade.
