Create a Telegram QR codeWhy use a Telegram QR
- Put a Telegram QR on packaging, posters, or business cards so people follow or open your profile without typing a handle.
- Prefer official share / profile URLs so every phone opens the app or mobile web correctly.
- Use a dynamic QR when you might change the destination campaign without reprinting.
Steps
- t.me/username or invite link. Example: https://t.me/yourchannel
- Open the Studio and paste the link into the URL field (or choose WiFi / vCard when relevant).
- Optional: enable a dynamic QR code to edit the destination later and track scans.
- Customize colors or add your logo, then download PNG or SVG. Check print size before a large run.
Best practices
- Public t.me/username links are easiest to maintain.
- Private invite links should be rotated if shared widely.
- Add a caption so people know what they’ll join.
Common mistakes
- Encoding a temporary promo URL as a static code on long-lived print
- Low-contrast brand colors that fail in outdoor light
- No caption explaining what the scan does
FAQ
Can I track joins from the QR?
Telegram doesn’t show QR-specific joins. Use a dynamic QR to count scans before they open Telegram.
