Make a GitHub QR code
A static QR code that opens your GitHub profile, so people can star you in one scan. PNG or SVG, free, and it never expires.
How to find your GitHub handle
Type owner/repo for a repository (for example vercel/next.js), or just your username for your profile. You can also paste the link.
Where to put it
Talk slides, stickers, booth signs, README badges and printed docs. Want to watch the stars come in? See your GitHub stars live with CountDeck.

Questions people ask
Can the code open a repository instead of my profile?
Yes. Type owner/repo (for example vercel/next.js) and the code opens that repository, ready for a star.
Is this GitHub QR code generator free?
Yes. No signup, no watermark and no daily limit. Make as many codes as you need and download each one as PNG and SVG.
Will my QR code expire?
No. The code holds your profile link itself, not a redirect through us, so it keeps working as long as your profile exists. Nothing is saved on our side.
PNG or SVG?
SVG for print: it stays sharp at any size, from a sticker to a poster. PNG (1024 × 1024) for screens, slides, emails and social posts.
How big should I print it?
At least 2 × 2 cm (0.8 inch) for something people hold, and about a tenth of the scan distance on a wall or window. Keep the white border around the code.
What if I change my handle?
The old code will point at the old handle. Make a new code with the new one; it takes a few seconds.
Can I show my live follower count next to the code?
Yes, with CountDeck’s Desk mode (Pro): your live count fills a spare screen, like an old iPad or a TV, with a scan-to-follow QR code under it, for the platforms CountDeck supports.
