Why should I use a Twitter QR Code generator?

Increase engagement with your audience

Twitter is a platform to start a conversation. Whether you’re just starting out or already an established brand, it allows you to amplify your message and be heard by the right people. With Twitter QR Code, you make it easier for your audience and customers to engage in a conversation online.

Improve your customer service

People tend to ask for customer support on social media because it’s quick and transparent. Instead of using email or phone support, get your customers to contact you via Twitter for a faster response.

Tweet your way to trending topics

By defining the tweet inside the QR Code, you make it easier for your audience to simply scan and post it without having to type it manually. You can easily position your brand by adding keywords that are unique to your campaign. The more tweets appear using the keyword, the higher the chance for your content to be more visible, thus gaining a spot in the trending topic.

Works without the Twitter app

When a user scans the QR Code, it'll automatically detect if the user has a Twitter app installed on their device or not. If no app is detected, it will simply open the link in the default browser on the device. This means that the QR Code will work as long as there's an Internet connection.

So how do I create a Twitter QR Code?

  1. Choose between linking to your Twitter profile or posting a tweet. For Twitter profile, simply add your username minus the @ symbol. For a tweet, add the content of your tweet with a URL and hashtag, no longer than 280 characters.
  2. When you’re done, select Generate QR Code.
  3. Then, customize the look and feel of your QR Code on the right preview. Use your own colors and add a frame to encourage more scans.
  4. Finally, download the QR Code file in high-quality JPG. This file can easily be added to a medium you’ll print it on.

Anything else I should know before using the Twitter QR Code generator?

Link to profile or post a tweet?

The Twitter QR Code generator offers two functions: It links to your Twitter profile or posts a tweet with a scan. To promote your Twitter account and get new followers, select the link to profile option. To start a conversation surrounding your brand or product, select the post a tweet option.

Test before printing

QR Codes created with the Twitter QR Code generator are static, which means they are not editable after being generated. Before printing, we advise you to do multiple test scans to ensure they are scannable.

Minimum size

We recommend a minimum size of 2 x 2 cm (0.8 x 0.8 in) for any QR Codes. This ensures that your QR Codes remain scannable, especially when you’re about to print a large batch on flyers or posters. Visit our guide before you print for more tips.

Add a logo

If you own a company, include a logo on your QR Code to increase brand awareness. Whenever a QR Code with your logo appears anywhere, your audience or customers will not hesitate to scan it as it makes them feel secure.

Use your own colors

QR Codes are the perfect place to splash some colors that match your personality or brand. One important thing to note: Always use a darker color for the foreground (the black and square pixels itself) and a lighter color for the background. Visit our QR Code design guide for more tips.
