A music QR code is just a QR code that opens a track, album, or playlist link. The key is using the official share link so it opens the exact destination reliably.
QR code for music playlist (best link to use)#
- Use the in-app Share link (Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube). Avoid copying from random redirects.
- Keep links stable before printing (don’t print a QR for a draft/unlisted playlist).
- If the URL is very long, consider using a short URL or Dynamic QR (redirect) so scans stay reliable.
Spotify playlist QR code#
- In Spotify, open the playlist → Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into the URL QR code generator.
- Scan-test on iPhone and Android.
- Download SVG for print or PNG for sharing.
Apple Music playlist QR code#
- In Apple Music, open the playlist → Share → Copy link.
- Paste it into the URL QR code generator.
- Scan-test on a device that doesn’t have your account (some links behave differently).
- Download SVG for print (or PNG for social posts).
YouTube music QR codes (videos, playlists, channels)#
For YouTube playlists/channels/videos, use the YouTube QR code generator. The Share link format usually gives the cleanest result.
Printing tips (music QR code)#
- Add a label: “Scan to listen” / “Scan to play the playlist”.
- Use SVG for crisp print and keep a clear quiet zone (don’t crop the QR).
- Print larger for posters/signage; scan-test from the real distance.
- If scans fail, increase size or simplify the destination link.
If you want one QR for multiple music apps#
If you need one QR code that lets people choose between Spotify and Apple Music, create a simple link page with buttons using Link Page QR. If you plan to change the destination later, use Dynamic QR (redirect).
