Pinterest QR Code Generator
Link to your Pinterest profile, board, or pin with a scannable QR code. Drive traffic to your visual content.
Why Create a Pinterest QR Code?
Bridge the gap between physical materials and your visual content on Pinterest.
Visual Discovery on Demand
Pinterest is the leading platform for visual inspiration. A QR code on your packaging, signage, or print materials sends customers straight to your curated boards and pins — no searching required.
Drive Board Followers Instantly
Every scan is a potential new follower. Link your QR code to a Pinterest board and let customers browse, save, and share your content with one tap after scanning.
Reach New Audiences Offline
Pinterest users actively plan purchases. Placing QR codes in physical locations connects your products to buyers who are already in a discovery mindset, expanding your reach beyond the app.
Create a Pinterest QR Code in 3 Steps
Enter Your Pinterest URL
Paste the link to your Pinterest profile, board, or individual pin into the generator above. Any public Pinterest URL works.
Customize Your Design
Match the QR code to your brand. Choose the Pinterest red or your own colors, add your logo, and select a dot pattern that fits your style.
Download and Share
Download your QR code as PNG or SVG. Print it on packaging, business cards, flyers, lookbooks, or display it on screens at events.
Pinterest QR Code Use Cases
See how businesses and creators use Pinterest QR codes to grow their audience.
Craft Businesses on Product Packaging
Include a QR code on your product labels or packaging inserts that links to a Pinterest board showcasing project ideas, tutorials, and styling tips using your products. Customers who scan become followers and repeat buyers.
Fashion Brand Lookbooks
Print QR codes in your seasonal lookbook or catalog. Each code links to a Pinterest board with outfit inspiration, styling ideas, and shoppable pins that let customers save and purchase directly.
Wedding Planning Mood Boards
Add a QR code to your wedding planner business card or brochure. Link it to a curated Pinterest board with venue ideas, floral arrangements, and decor inspiration that couples can save and share.
Food Blogger Recipe Cards
Place a QR code on printed recipe cards or at farmers market displays. Scanning opens your Pinterest board with recipes, meal prep ideas, and cooking tips — turning one-time visitors into loyal followers.
Best Practices for Pinterest QR Codes
Get the most out of every scan with these proven strategies.
Link to Boards, Not Just Your Profile
Boards are more engaging than a generic profile page. Create themed boards for specific campaigns, seasons, or product lines and link your QR code directly to the most relevant one for your audience.
Use High-Contrast Colors for Print
Pinterest QR codes printed on packaging and flyers must scan reliably. Use a dark foreground color against a light background and keep the minimum size at 2 x 2 cm for close-range scanning.
Track and Optimize with Dynamic Codes
Static codes cannot be edited after printing. Use dynamic QR codes so you can update the destination board, monitor scan analytics, and A/B test different Pinterest landing pages without reprinting.
Pinterest QR Code — Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for my Pinterest profile?
Enter your Pinterest profile URL into the QRLynx generator above, customize the design with your brand colors and logo, then download the QR code. When scanned, it opens your Pinterest profile directly in the app or browser.
Can I make a QR code for a specific Pinterest board?
Yes. Copy the URL of any public Pinterest board and paste it into the generator. The resulting QR code will link scanners directly to that board so they can browse and save your pins.
Does Pinterest have its own QR code feature?
Pinterest previously offered Pincodes, a camera-based visual code feature built into the Pinterest app. Pincodes have been discontinued. A third-party QR code generator like QRLynx is now the recommended way to create scannable codes for any Pinterest content.
Can I track who scans my Pinterest QR code?
Yes. When you create a dynamic QR code with QRLynx, every scan is tracked in real time. You can see total scans, unique visitors, geographic locations, device types, operating systems, and the time each scan occurred.
Do Pinterest QR codes work offline?
The QR code itself can be printed on any physical material and scanned without an internet connection. However, the scanner needs an active internet connection to open the Pinterest link after scanning the code.
Can I add my logo to a Pinterest QR code?
Yes. QRLynx allows you to upload your logo or brand icon and place it in the center of the QR code. You can also customize foreground and background colors to match the Pinterest red or your own brand palette.
What is the difference between a Pinterest QR code and a Pincode?
Pincodes were a proprietary visual code created by Pinterest that could only be scanned using the Pinterest app camera. They have been discontinued. A Pinterest QR code is a standard QR code that links to any Pinterest URL and can be scanned by any smartphone camera without needing the Pinterest app.
Can I link to a specific Pinterest pin?
Yes. Copy the URL of any individual pin from Pinterest and paste it into the QRLynx generator. The QR code will open that exact pin when scanned, allowing viewers to save it, visit the source link, or explore related content.
How do I use Pinterest QR codes for marketing?
Print QR codes on product packaging, business cards, flyers, lookbooks, event banners, and in-store displays. Each code can link to a curated Pinterest board where customers discover and save your visual content, driving long-term organic traffic back to your brand.
Are Pinterest QR codes free to create?
Yes. You can create static Pinterest QR codes for free on QRLynx. Dynamic codes with scan tracking, editable destinations, and advanced customization are available on paid plans starting with the free Starter tier that includes up to 3 dynamic codes.
