Facebook Page QR Code Generator
For many local businesses, clubs and churches, the Facebook page is the real website: opening hours, events, photos and messages all live there. A Facebook QR code takes people from a printed flyer or a shop door straight to that page. You can paste the full page address, including profile.php?id= style links, or type just the username. QRPebble keeps full URLs as they are and turns a bare username (5 to 50 letters, numbers or periods) into a facebook.com link. Before printing, check that the page is published and visible to logged-out visitors, so people without an account see something useful.
Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.
How to make it
- Paste your page's address or type its username into the Facebook page URL or username field.
- Check the preview link opens your page, not your personal profile.
- Set colours and size for where it will be printed.
- Download and scan-test before sending the design to print.
What gets encoded
If you enter a facebook.com or fb.com address, the code stores that URL unchanged, so numeric page IDs and group links also work. If you enter a username, the code contains https://www.facebook.com/<username>. Phones treat both as ordinary links. With the Facebook app installed, many phones open the page in the app; otherwise it loads in the browser, where some content may need a login. Groups and events can be linked by pasting their full URL.
Where people use it
- Club and community group noticeboards
- Shop doors showing opening hours
- Church and school newsletters
- Event posters linking to the Facebook event
Tips before you print
- Use your page's custom username link rather than a long share URL with tracking parameters.
- For a Facebook event, paste the event URL; it will stop being useful after the date, so consider a dynamic code.
- On printed newsletters, 2.5–3 cm wide is usually enough.
- Check the page is public; codes that lead to 'content isn't available' lose trust fast.
FAQ

Will it open the Facebook app?
On most phones with the app installed it does; otherwise it opens in the browser.
