Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about LinkedIn QR codes

Is this different from LinkedIn's built-in QR code?

Yes! LinkedIn has its own QR code feature, but it only works within the LinkedIn mobile app. Our QR codes work with any smartphone camera and offer custom branding, tracking analytics, and the ability to update the destination if you change your LinkedIn URL. Plus, you can match your brand design.

Do people need LinkedIn to view my profile?

Anyone can view your LinkedIn profile (if it's public), but they'll need a LinkedIn account to send you connection requests or messages. Most professionals already have LinkedIn, making this widely accessible.

Can I track how many people scanned and connected?

With dynamic QR codes, you can track total scans, times, and locations. However, to see actual connection requests, check your LinkedIn notifications. LinkedIn Analytics also shows profile views.

What if I change my LinkedIn custom URL?

If you used a static QR code, you'll need to create a new one. However, with a dynamic QR code, simply update the destination URL - the printed QR code stays the same!

Should I include a QR code on my resume?

Yes! Many hiring managers appreciate the convenience. Place it in the header or footer of your resume. It shows you're tech-savvy and makes it easy for recruiters to learn more about you.

Can I link to a specific section of my LinkedIn profile?

LinkedIn doesn't support deep linking to specific sections via URL. However, you can link to LinkedIn posts, articles you've written, or your LinkedIn company page instead of your personal profile.
