TIKTOK PROFILE

QR code for a TikTok profile

Your profile URL in a code. The @ goes in the address, not in what you type — the field takes the handle alone.

A TikTok QR code stores the address of a TikTok profile, which a phone opens in TikTok.

Add the content

UsernameWithout the @. The code adds it, because tiktok.com/@handle is the address shape.

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://tiktok.com/@tiktokThe exact text the symbol carries — what any scanner will read out.

The @ belongs to the URL, not to the handle

TikTok profiles live at tiktok.com/@handle, so the code adds the @ for you. Typing it yourself would produce a double one, which is a 404 that looks like a working code until somebody scans it.

This is not the in-app scan code

TikTok draws its own scannable code inside the app, readable only there. This one is a plain URL, so any camera opens it — which is what printed material needs, because most people scanning a poster are using the camera app rather than TikTok.

A handle change breaks every printed copy

The username is in the ink. TikTok allows a change every 30 days, which makes this more likely here than on most platforms — worth a dynamic code if a rebrand is plausible.

TikTok QR codes

Should I include the @?

No. The code adds it. Typing it produces tiktok.com/@@handle, which resolves to nothing.

Can it link to one video?

This one makes a profile link. A video is a URL — use the URL type for that.

Does scanning follow the account?

No. No platform permits that, so "scan to follow" describes something that cannot happen.

Is this the same as TikTok’s own QR code?

No. The in-app code belongs to TikTok and the app can restyle or retire it; this one is a plain link to your profile that keeps working wherever it is printed.

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.
