QR Code for Telegram
One scan and they're in your Telegram group, channel, or chat.
A Telegram QR code turns your t.me link into something people can join from a poster, a slide, or a business card. Scanning opens the Telegram app directly on your group, channel, or profile - no searching, no typos in the handle. Communities, crypto projects, class groups, and local clubs use it to move people from the physical world into the chat. A dynamic code lets you swap the destination when a group fills up or you migrate to a new channel.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Opens the app, not a webpage
t.me links deep-link straight into Telegram, so the person scanning lands on Join or Send Message - one tap from printed paper to member.
Survives group migrations
Invite links expire, groups hit limits, channels get rebranded. A dynamic code lets you point the same printed poster at the new link in seconds.
Know which poster works
Scan analytics show which flyer, venue, or slide actually brings members in - so you print more of what converts.
How to set it up
- 1
Copy your invite link from Telegram (t.me/yourgroup or a private invite link).
- 2
Paste it into the generator and choose dynamic so you can rotate expired invite links.
- 3
Print it on flyers, event slides, or merch - and update the link whenever it changes.
Before you print it
If your telegram code may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
Telegram FAQ
Can I make a QR code for a private Telegram group?
Yes. Use the private invite link Telegram generates. Because private links can be revoked, use a dynamic QR code so you can paste in the fresh link without reprinting.
Telegram already shows a QR code - why use this?
Telegram's built-in code is static and unstyled. Here you can brand it with a logo and colors, and make it dynamic so the printed code survives link changes and gives you scan stats.
Does it work if the person doesn't have Telegram installed?
The t.me page opens in the browser and offers to install Telegram first, then continues to your group or profile.
Can I use different codes for each event so I know where members came from?
Yes. Make one dynamic code per meetup, poster or conference slide, all pointing at the same t.me invite, and each reports its scans separately with device, location and time-of-day. Telegram will not tell you which sign a member came from, but the scan counts will. There are no scan limits or per-code charges on Pro.
Do I need an account to make one?
Not for a static code - the generator runs in your browser and you can download without signing up. An account is only needed for dynamic codes, which have to live somewhere so you can edit them later.
General questions about how QR codes work, what they cost and how to print them are answered on the QR code FAQ.
