Size for print: Business card: minimum 2cm × 2cm. Poster: minimum 3cm × 3cm. Outdoor signage: scale up proportionally and export as SVG.
Format comparison
vs Instagram's built-in QR code: Instagram's native QR is a "nametag" style code — it uses Instagram's own scanning system and looks like Instagram's branded design. It is convenient for sharing digitally (screenshot and share), but cannot be extracted as a standalone file for print design software. The code generated here is a standard ISO QR code that works with any camera app, has no Instagram branding, and is fully downloadable.
vs linktree-style landing pages: For creators who want to link multiple URLs from one QR, consider a link-in-bio landing page (Linktree, Beacons, Carrd, etc.) as the QR destination instead of the Instagram profile directly. This way the same QR code can link to Instagram, a website, a product, and a newsletter simultaneously.

About this format
Instagram's built-in QR code (found in your profile settings) is useful for digital sharing, but it is locked inside the Instagram app. You cannot download it as a standalone SVG or PNG to use in print marketing — posters, business cards, product packaging, or window displays.
This generator creates a standalone QR code for any Instagram URL, downloadable as a print-ready SVG or high-resolution PNG you can use anywhere, in any design software, without being tied to Instagram's design templates.
Use it for: linking a product package to an Instagram tutorial, adding your handle to a business card, connecting a trade show banner to your brand account, printing table tents that link to your restaurant's Instagram, or giving a workshop attendee a printout with a QR code that follows you.
The URL format for an Instagram profile is `https://instagram.com/yourusername`. Paste this directly into the generator. For a specific post or reel, use that post's direct URL. For a story highlight, use the URL from the Instagram website.
The generated QR works on any smartphone — iOS Camera app, Android Camera, and all major QR scanner apps recognize it without requiring the Instagram app to be installed.
