Conference organizers and job fairs often print LinkedIn profile QR codes on badges so attendees connect in seconds. Hosted QR SaaS charges ~$49/month for static links that never change — you can generate the same code locally for free.
Get your LinkedIn profile URL
On LinkedIn (desktop):
- Go to your profile
- Click View profile
- Copy the URL from the address bar
It looks like:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/yourname
Or use the short form from Contact info → Your profile URL.
Encode the full HTTPS URL as the QR payload. Scanners open LinkedIn directly (app or web).
Tip: test the link on a phone before printing 500 badges.
Free browser generator (no account)
Open this page, paste your LinkedIn URL, download PNG or SVG. Everything runs client-side; nothing is uploaded:

Batch for events
Organizers generating QR codes for every speaker or attendee from a CSV:
npx toolkitlabs-qr@latest qr_batch.py attendees.csv ./output/
CSV format: one URL per line. Buy the batch CLI pack (EUR 9, one-time, no subscription):

Why not a dynamic QR service?
Dynamic QR services track scans and charge monthly for features you don't need when the destination URL is fixed. A static QR encoding your LinkedIn profile works forever — print it on a badge and forget it.
