YouTube QR code generator
Link a poster, a product or a slide to your channel, or to the exact video that explains it.
Sample. Fill in to make it yours.
Prints a short link you can change after printing, with scan stats. Free account, 3 codes included.
PNG, JPG or SVG up to 1 MB. Stays in your browser.
A picture behind the code. The fade keeps it light enough to scan. Stays in your browser.
Set to Max because a logo covers part of the code.
A YouTube QR code opens youtube.com/@yourchannel, or any video link you paste. On phones with the YouTube app it opens in the app, ready to play or subscribe.
The most useful YouTube codes point at one video, not the channel: assembly instructions on a flat-pack box, a recipe video on a sauce jar, a talk recording on the conference poster. If you plan to replace the video with a newer one, make the code editable so the print stays current.
