Question 1

How do I create a QR code for a GitHub repository?

Accepted Answer

Choose Repository, enter the username and the repository name — or simply paste the repository URL — then customize the design and download your QR code. Scanning it opens the repository page directly.

Question 2

Can I make a QR code for my GitHub profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose Profile and enter your username (or paste your profile URL). The QR code opens your github.com profile page — handy for resumes, conference badges, and portfolio slides.

Question 3

Which GitHub link formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Profile and repository links, plus any other GitHub URL: gists, GitHub Pages sites, sponsor profiles, and release pages. You can paste the full URL in any format — the generator normalizes it automatically.

Question 4

Can I add a logo to my GitHub QR code, and is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the GitHub logo or upload your own, adjust colors and dot styles, and download the result as PNG, JPEG, WEBP, or SVG. Everything is free, with no sign-up, and the QR code never expires.

Question 5

Will the QR code open the GitHub mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if the phone has the GitHub app installed and its in-app browser links (Universal Links on iOS, App Links on Android) are enabled, scanning opens the profile or repository directly in the app. Otherwise it opens in the mobile browser, where the user can still tap to open the app.
