Overview

What is a WeChat QR code?

WeChat uses QR codes for almost everything: adding friends, joining groups, following official accounts, paying and logging in on a computer. Your personal code is in the app under Me, and each group has its own code. These codes contain a WeChat link that the app recognises when it is scanned with WeChat’s own scanner.

You can restyle these codes for posters and cards: scan your WeChat code with any QR reader to see the link inside, paste that link here, and add your colors, logo and frame. Keep in mind that WeChat group codes expire after seven days, and some WeChat links only open correctly when scanned inside WeChat, so always test with the WeChat scanner before printing.

How it works

How to make a styled WeChat QR code

You need the link that is inside your WeChat code.

  1. 1

    Get your WeChat link

    Save your personal or official account code from WeChat, then scan the image with a QR reader to reveal its link.

  2. 2

    Paste and design

    Choose WeChat in the generator, paste the link and add WeChat green or your brand colors and logo.

  3. 3

    Test inside WeChat

    Scan the new code with WeChat’s scanner (Discover › Scan) before printing to confirm it opens your profile or account.

Best practices

Tips for WeChat codes

WeChat has a few rules that affect printed codes.

  • Group codes expire

    A group code is valid for seven days. For print, share an official account or your personal code instead.

  • Use an official account for business

    Official account codes do not expire and can show menus, posts and customer service.

  • Always test with WeChat

    Some links only open properly inside WeChat. Test with the WeChat scanner, not just the phone camera.

  • Keep the design simple

    WeChat’s scanner is strong, but high contrast and a clear margin keep scans fast in poor light.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my WeChat QR code?

Open WeChat, go to Me, tap your name and select My QR Code. You can save it to your photos from the menu in the corner.

How do I scan a QR code in WeChat?

Tap the plus icon at the top right of Chats and choose Scan, or go to Discover › Scan. Point the camera at the code.

How do I scan a code from a photo in WeChat?

On the Scan screen tap the album icon and choose the image. WeChat reads codes from screenshots and saved pictures.

How long does a WeChat QR code last?

Personal and official account codes do not expire unless you reset them. Group codes expire after seven days.

How do I make a styled WeChat QR code?

Scan your WeChat code with any QR reader to get its link, paste the link into the generator above and download your styled WeChat QR code.

Can I scan a WeChat code with the phone camera?

The camera reads it but may only show a link or a download page. Scanning inside WeChat gives the best result.

How do I add someone with their WeChat code?

Use WeChat’s Scan feature on their code, then tap Add to Contacts on their profile.

Can I reset my WeChat QR code?

Yes. In My QR Code, open the menu and choose Reset QR Code. Old printed codes stop working after a reset.

Can I add a logo to a WeChat code?

Yes, in a code made here. Keep it small and test with WeChat’s scanner, which must still recognise the link.

Can I track scans of a WeChat code?

A dynamic code counts scans, but WeChat-only links may not open correctly through a redirect. Test before relying on it.

Is the generator free?

Yes. Static codes are free with no watermark or sign-up.

Can people outside China scan it?

Yes. WeChat users anywhere can scan it with the app. People without WeChat will only see a link or a download page, so offer another contact option next to it.

Can I use a WeChat Pay code here?

Payment codes are issued by WeChat Pay for your account and must stay unchanged. Display them as WeChat provides them rather than restyling them.

Is StyleQRCode connected to WeChat?

No. StyleQRCode is an independent generator and is not affiliated with WeChat or Tencent.
