Do I need to include the @ in my handle?

No. You can type it with or without the @ — the code builds the same instagram.com profile link either way.

Can I link to a specific post or reel?

Yes. Paste the full post or reel URL and the QR code will open that exact content in Instagram.

Is this an official Instagram QR code?

This is a standard QR code that encodes your Instagram URL. It works with any phone camera and is not affiliated with Instagram.

Can I download the QR code as an SVG?

Yes. You can save it as a PNG for everyday use or as a vector SVG, which scales to any size without blurring — ideal for large print like posters and shop windows.

Why are tracking parameters removed?

Pasted Instagram links often carry analytics query parameters (like igshid or utm tags). The generator strips these so the QR code resolves to a clean, stable URL that will not break or expose tracking.

Does the QR code expire?

No. It simply encodes a URL, so it keeps working as long as that Instagram profile, post or reel exists. There is no account or short-link that could expire.

A scannable shortcut to your Instagram

A QR code is the fastest way to send people from the physical world to your Instagram — perfect for shop windows, product packaging, business cards, market stalls and print ads. Customers point a phone camera and land straight on your profile, post or reel.

How it works

If you enter a handle, the leading @ is stripped and any unsupported characters removed, then a link is built as https://www.instagram.com/<handle>. If you paste a full URL (profile, post or reel), it is normalised — https:// is added if missing and tracking query parameters are removed. That clean URL is then encoded into a QR code rendered on a canvas, which you can download as a PNG or a vector SVG.

Example
