What a Threads QR code does
A Threads QR code opens your Threads profile in one scan, so people can follow you there without searching. It suits anyone building a following on Threads alongside Instagram: shops, creators, writers and local businesses.
How to make a Threads QR code
- Check that Social and Threads are selected. This page loads the Social type with Threads chosen as the Platform.
- Enter your username. With or without the @; it’s the same as your Instagram username.
- Choose static or dynamic. Static works forever with nothing in between. Dynamic lets you change where it goes later and counts scans.
- Make it yours. The Threads logo is already in the middle. Pick colours and a frame like “Follow us on Threads”.
- Download or save. Download a static code right away, or save a dynamic code to your free account.

Design and print tips
- Say why to follow. “Daily specials and behind the scenes” beats the logo alone.
- Print the @username too.
- Black and white suits Threads, and scans best.
- Size it for the distance. 2.5 cm on cards and receipts, 4 to 5 cm on counters, 20 cm or more on posters.
Static or dynamic?
Either works
For a username you’ll keep, a static code works forever. Choose dynamic to count scans from each place you print it, or to point it at another profile or page later.
