Profile URL vs. LinkedIn's in-app code
Use your public profile URL (linkedin.com/in/yourname) and the code opens your profile so people can connect or follow. It's ideal for business cards, resumes, conference badges, and the last slide of a talk.
LinkedIn has a built-in QR (tap the search bar) for scanning between two phones in person, but it isn't printable — a generated QR is the permanent image you put on physical materials, scannable by any camera.
Where to put your LinkedIn code
- Business cards and name badges
- The last slide of a conference talk
- Your booth banner or resume
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from LinkedIn's built-in QR code?
LinkedIn's in-app code is for two people scanning phone-to-phone at an event. A generated QR is a permanent, printable image for cards, badges, and slides, and any camera app can scan it.
How do I find my LinkedIn profile URL?
On your profile, open “Contact info” or copy the URL from your browser — it looks like linkedin.com/in/yourname.
Can I track scans on my LinkedIn code?
Yes — use the trackable option and QRLumen will count scans so you can measure a talk or booth.
