Make a Threads QR code
A static QR code that opens your Threads profile, so people can follow you in one scan. PNG or SVG, free, and it never expires.
How to find your Threads handle
Your Threads username is the same as your Instagram handle. Type it with or without the @.
Where to put it
Anywhere you’d put an Instagram code, when Threads is where you talk with people.

Questions people ask
Is my Threads handle the same as Instagram?
Yes. Threads uses your Instagram username, so the same handle works for both codes.
Is this Threads 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.
