Overview

What is a Snapchat QR code?

A Snapchat QR code opens your Snapchat add-friend link (snapchat.com/add/username) when scanned. Unlike the yellow Snapcode inside the app, which only Snapchat’s own camera can read, a standard code works with every phone camera and scanner app — useful on posters, business cards and other places where people may not open Snapchat first.

You can style it with your colors, add the ghost icon or your own logo, place it inside a frame that says “Add me on Snapchat”, and download it for print. Creators and brands often put both: the Snapcode for Snapchat users and a standard code that anyone can scan.

How it works

How to make a QR code for Snapchat

All you need is your Snapchat username.

  1. 1

    Enter your username

    Type it without the @. The generator builds the snapchat.com/add link that opens your profile.

  2. 2

    Style it

    Use Snapchat yellow with dark dots, add the ghost icon or your logo, and choose a frame with a call to action.

  3. 3

    Download and test

    Download PNG or SVG/PDF and scan once to make sure your profile opens with the Add button.

Best practices

Tips for more adds

Make it easy to recognise and quick to scan.

  • Keep dark dots on yellow

    Yellow backgrounds look on-brand, but the dots must be dark. Light dots on yellow often fail to scan.

  • Allow adds from everyone

    Check your privacy settings so people who are not friends yet can find and add you.

  • Use a public profile for brands

    A public profile shows your stories and subscriber count, which convinces people to add you.

  • Show both codes

    Placing your Snapcode next to a standard code serves Snapchat users and everyone else.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Snapchat QR code?

Choose Snapchat in the generator above, type your username and download your Snapchat QR code. It is free and works with any phone camera.

How do I scan a Snapchat QR code?

Point the phone camera at it and tap the link, or in Snapchat point the camera at the code and press and hold on the screen. Both open the profile.

What is the difference between a Snapcode and a QR code?

A Snapcode is Snapchat’s own yellow code and only Snapchat can read it. A standard code is read by any camera and can be customised with colors and logos.

How do I scan a Snapchat code from my camera roll?

In Snapchat, open Memories, choose Camera Roll, select the screenshot and use the scan option. On most phones the gallery app can also read codes in images.

Can Snapchat scan QR codes?

Yes. Snapchat’s camera reads standard codes as well as Snapcodes: press and hold on the screen while pointing at the code.

How do Snapchat QR codes work?

The code contains your add-friend link. When scanned, it opens Snapchat on your profile, where the person taps Add Friend.

Is the Snapchat QR code free?

Yes. Static codes are free, with no watermark and no expiry. Dynamic codes with scan statistics need a free account.

Will it break if I change my username?

Snapchat allows username changes, and the old link stops working. Use a dynamic code so you can update it without reprinting.

Can I add the ghost logo?

Yes. Pick the Snapchat icon in the Logo tab or upload your own logo, and watch the scan score.

Can I use the code in my stories or bio?

Yes. Download the PNG and add it to stories, other social profiles or your website. Viewers on a computer can scan it from the screen with their phone.

Does Snapchat have a QR code login?

Snapchat can show a login code on some devices to sign in with your phone. That code is created by Snapchat; the one made here is for sharing your profile.

Can I track how many people scanned it?

Yes, with a dynamic code. You see scans by day, device and country in your dashboard.

What size should I print it?

About 2.5 cm (1 in) for stickers and cards, larger for posters. Keep a white or yellow margin around the code.
