Pinterest QR Code Maker
A QR code that opens your Pinterest profile, a board or a pin, for a business card, a label or a sign. Made on this page.
Your QR code
Your QR code for @Pinterest's profile
It opens https://www.pinterest.com/Pinterest/
We left off the part after the ? or #: Pinterest's share tags, which the code doesn't need.
29 × 29 squares plus a 4-square margin; business card: 1 in (2.5 cm), 296 × 296 px at 300 dpi.
Contrast 18.1:1
The margin around the code is the QR Code's own rule: QR Code requires a four-module wide margin at all sides of a symbol.

Pinterest has its own scannable code too, the Pincode, made in its app: When someone sees your Pincode™, they'll use Pinterest Lens to scan it.

Quick answer: to make a QR code for your Pinterest profile, type your username above, or paste the link to a board or a pin, then download the code as a PNG for a business card, a label or a sign, or as an SVG for a printer. It is a standard QR code: anyone's phone camera opens it, with or without the Pinterest app. Pinterest also has its own code, the Pincode, which you make in its app and people scan with Pinterest Lens.
How to use it
- Type your Pinterest username (with or without the @), or paste a link to one of your boards, a board section or a pin. A pin.it short link works too.
- Check the address under the code. That is exactly what a scan opens. The checker refuses anything that isn't a Pinterest profile, board or pin.
- Pick the colours and the print size: business card (1 in / 2.5 cm), flyer or label (2 in / 5 cm), poster or sign (4 in / 10 cm).
- Download the PNG or the SVG, and scan the printed proof with your own phone before you print a whole run.
Pinterest's Pincode or a QR code?
Pinterest's help still explains how to make a Pincode for your profile or a board, in the app, and how it is read: When someone sees your Pincode™, they'll use Pinterest Lens to scan it.
A Pincode is read inside the Pinterest app. A standard QR code works for everyone else: the camera app on most phones reads it, and someone without the Pinterest app lands on your profile in their browser. If your card is for Pinterest users, a Pincode is fine; for everyone, use a QR code, or print both.
Printing it so it scans
- Keep the white margin. The QR Code's inventor, DENSO WAVE, is clear:
QR Code requires a four-module wide margin at all sides of a symbol.
Our PNG and SVG include it; don't crop it off or print text into it. - Dark squares on a light background. The page always puts the darker of your two colours on the squares and refuses a pair under 4.5:1 contrast, the W3C's number for normal text, which we use as a safe floor. Brand colours are fine if they pass.
- Size it for the distance. Our sizes are print sizes at 300 pixels per inch, the resolution print labs work at (our pixels to inches calculator quotes them). For anything bigger, send the SVG: it stays sharp at any size.
- Test before you print a hundred. Scan the proof with two different phones in ordinary light.
Where a Pinterest QR code earns its place
On a business card, a product's packaging or swing tag, a market stall or craft fair sign, a printed recipe card, a menu, a workshop handout or a thank-you note in an order. Send people to the board that matches what they are holding, rather than to your whole profile, and they will find more of what brought them. Your profile picture and username make the first impression, so check them with our Pinterest username checker.
