Color Matching by Platform

Match your QR code colors to the platform for instant recognition:

• Instagram: Gradient is tricky — use dark purple (#833AB4) on white for brand alignment
• YouTube: Dark red (#CC0000) foreground on white background
• Facebook: Facebook blue (#1877F2) foreground on white
• LinkedIn: LinkedIn blue (#0A66C2) foreground on white
• TikTok: Black (#000000) on white — matches the TikTok brand
• Your brand: Use your brand colors instead of platform colors if consistency matters more than platform recognition

Always test custom-colored QR codes on 2-3 phones before printing.

Pro Tips for Social QR Codes

• Use UTM parameters for tracking: Add ?utm_source=qr&utm_medium=print&utm_campaign=businesscard to your URL before creating the QR code. This lets Google Analytics track how many visitors came from the QR code.
• Link to specific content, not just your profile: A QR on a product that links to a YouTube tutorial for that product converts better than a generic channel link.
• Update strategy: If you change your social media handle, you'll need to generate a new QR code. For frequently-changing links, consider a link-in-bio page as the QR destination.

Multiple Profiles? Use a Link-in-Bio Page

If you want one QR code linking to all your social profiles, create a free link-in-bio page (Linktree, Beacons, or a simple landing page) and generate a QR code for that single URL. This way, one QR code connects people to all your platforms.
