Overview
What is a Telegram QR code?
A Telegram QR code opens a t.me link — a user profile, a public channel, a group or a bot — when it is scanned. It is the fastest way to grow a channel or community from offline places: posters, business cards, packaging or event screens. Scanners skip the search, which matters because many channel names look alike.
Telegram itself can show a code for your username, but you cannot change its look or use it for invite links. Here you can create a code for any Telegram link, add your brand colors and logo, and export a vector file for large prints. Make it dynamic if you might move your community to a new channel later.

- 2

Best practices
Tips for Telegram codes
Keep links working and invitations clear.
Use permanent invite links
Invite links can expire or have a member limit. For print, create one without an expiry date.
Prefer public usernames
Public channel usernames (t.me/name) never expire and look trustworthy in previews.
Say what people join
A caption like “Join for daily deals” tells people why to scan and what they will get.
Go dynamic for moving communities
If you might switch to a new group or channel, a dynamic code lets you update the link without reprinting.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Telegram QR code?
- Choose Telegram in the generator above, enter your username or paste a t.me link, style it and download your Telegram QR code. It is free and needs no account.
How do I scan a Telegram QR code?
- Use your phone camera and tap the link, or in Telegram open Contacts or Settings and use the QR scanner. Both open the chat, channel or group.
Where is my QR code in Telegram?
- Open Settings and tap the QR icon next to your username. You can change its color theme there, but not add a logo or use it for invite links.
How do I add a contact by QR code in Telegram?
- Scan their code with the phone camera or Telegram’s scanner, then tap Send Message or Add Contact.
How do I log in to Telegram Desktop with a QR code?
- On the phone open Settings › Devices › Link Desktop Device and scan the code on the computer. That login code is created by Telegram, not by our generator.
Can I make a code for a Telegram channel?
- Yes. Paste the channel’s public link (t.me/channelname) or its invite link. Scanners land on the channel with a Join button.
Can I make a code for a private group?
- Yes. Create an invite link in the group settings and paste it. Choose no expiry and no member limit for printed codes.
Is the Telegram QR code free?
- Yes. Static codes are free, with no watermark or scan limit. Dynamic codes with editing and statistics need a free account.
Can I link to a bot?
- Yes. Paste the bot link (t.me/yourbot). Add ?start=campaign to know which poster people came from.
Why does my code show “link expired”?
- The invite link was revoked or reached its expiry or member limit. Create a new permanent link and a new code, or use a dynamic code next time.
Can one code open both a channel and a group?
- No, one code opens one link. Link the channel in your code and pin the group link in the channel description, so new subscribers find the discussion group too.
Can I add the Telegram logo?
- Yes. Select the Telegram icon in the Logo tab or upload your own logo, and keep the scan score green.
Can I track scans?
- Yes, with a dynamic code. The dashboard shows scans by day, device and country.
