To create a QR code for TikTok: copy your profile URL (tiktok.com/@username) or video link, paste it into a QR code generator like Quality QR, customize the design, and download. TikTok has a built-in QR feature (TikCode), but custom QR codes offer better design flexibility and tracking capabilities.
TikTok QR Code Options
### Option 1: TikTok's Built-In TikCode
TikTok provides a built-in QR code (TikCode) for every profile:
- Open TikTok app
- Go to your profile
- Tap the three lines (menu) in top right
- Tap "QR code" or "TikCode"
Pros: Built into the app, branded with TikTok styling. Cons: Can't customize colors, no analytics, only works for profiles (not individual videos), requires scanning within TikTok app.
### Option 2: Custom QR Code (Recommended)
Create a QR code linking to your TikTok URL using a generator like Quality QR:
- Copy your TikTok profile URL or video link
- Paste into Quality QR's URL generator
- Customize colors and design
- Add your logo if desired
- Download and deploy
Pros: Full design customization, track scan analytics, works with any QR scanner, can link to specific videos. Cons: Doesn't have TikTok branding (but you can add the TikTok logo).

Design Tips for TikTok QR Codes
### Match TikTok's Vibe
TikTok's brand colors are black, white, and teal (#69C9D0) with pink accent (#EE1D52). Using these colors makes your QR code instantly recognizable as TikTok-related.
### Add the TikTok Logo
Include the TikTok logo in the center of your QR code for immediate recognition. Keep the logo under 30% of the code area.
### Keep It Scannable
Trendy doesn't mean unreadable. Maintain high contrast and adequate size. Test before printing.

- See how many people scanned your code
