The app has one too
Instagram can show a QR code for your profile inside the app. This one is useful when you want an SVG file for a print shop, your colours or your logo, and a code that holds just the normal link to your profile.

QR code for your Instagram
The Instagram address is already typed in: add your username at the end (instagram.com/your_username) and the code is created instantly. If you download it without adding your username, the code will open the Instagram home page, not your profile. Use it on business cards, posters, packaging or at your counter so people can follow you with one scan.
- Free, no watermark
- Instagram link already typed
- Never expires
HOW TO DO IT
Three steps.
Type your username
After https://www.instagram.com/ add your username, without the @. Without it, the code opens the Instagram home page, not your profile.
Give it your style
Your brand colours and your logo in the centre, if you like. Keep good contrast.
Download and test
PNG or SVG. Scan it with your phone camera: it should open your profile.
WHEN TO USE IT
This QR code or the app’s
No @ and no spaces
The username goes as is after the slash: instagram.com/your_username, not instagram.com/@your_username.
A post or a Reel
You can also paste the link to a specific post or Reel (in the app: Share › Copy link).
LIMITS
Good to know
It only holds the link
If you change your username, the QR code will stop leading to your profile and you will need a new one.
Private accounts
People who scan it will see your profile, but if it is private they will only see your posts once you accept their request.
Test it printed
Print a sample at real size and scan it with several phones before a large print run.
QR code for your Instagram: common questions
How do I make a QR code for my Instagram?
Type your username at the end of the address already shown (https://www.instagram.com/) and download the code as PNG or SVG.
Does the QR code expire?
No. It is a static QR code with the link inside: it works as long as your profile exists with that username.
Can I put my logo in the centre?
Yes, under “Design and logo”. With a logo, error correction level H is used so it still scans.
Does it work for TikTok, Facebook or WhatsApp?
Yes: the generator makes a QR code for any link. For WhatsApp there is also a page with the chat already set up.
Is my link sent anywhere?
No. The code is drawn in your browser: what you type is not sent to Cocuyo or to any third party, and the QR code does not go through any link shortener or redirect server.
Is it free?
Yes. No watermark, for your business too. Your free account comes with 30 welcome uses; after that, each use costs 1 credit (top-ups from US$1), and they are unlimited with Basic or Pro.
