Pinterest QR Code Generator
Pinterest is where people plan weddings, kitchens, knitting projects and outfits, so a printed link to your boards works well wherever inspiration starts offline. A florist's business card, a craft-fair price tag, a bridal expo stand or a recipe card can all send people to your profile. Enter your Pinterest username and QRPebble builds the pinterest.com profile link after checking that it's 3 to 30 letters, numbers or underscores. Visitors land on your profile, where they can follow you and browse every board. A business account also gives you Pinterest's own analytics, so you can see whether visits rise after an event.
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
- Find your username in your Pinterest profile URL (pinterest.com/yourname).
- Enter it in the Pinterest username field.
- Pick colours; Pinterest red works as a foreground on a white background.
- Download and scan to check your profile opens, both with and without the app installed.
What gets encoded
The payload is https://www.pinterest.com/<username>/. With the Pinterest app installed, phones typically open the profile in the app; otherwise it loads in the browser, where Pinterest may prompt people to log in after a little scrolling. The link points at your profile rather than a single board. To send people to one board or pin, copy that URL from Pinterest and use the URL generator, or use a dynamic code if you plan to rotate featured boards.
Where people use it
- Wedding and event vendors sharing portfolio boards
- Craft-fair and Etsy sellers' product tags
- Interior designers' business cards
- Recipe cards and cookbook inserts
Tips before you print
- Link a specific board with the URL generator when the context is narrow, e.g. 'Autumn wreaths' at a craft fair.
- Pinterest red (#E60023) is dark enough to scan on white; avoid pastel foregrounds.
- Small tags can take a 2 cm code if the margin is kept clear.
FAQ
Can I link a single board?
This form links your profile. Paste a board URL into the URL QR generator for a specific board.
Do people need a Pinterest account?
No, but Pinterest may ask them to log in to keep browsing on the web.
What about Pinterest's own scannable codes?
Pinterest's in-app codes are read by Pinterest's camera. This standard QR code works with any phone camera.
