Telegram's QR code or this one?
Telegram's built-in code is quick to show someone standing next to you. A code made here is a plain image of your t.me link, so you can print it at any size, put it on a menu or a flyer, and test it before you send it to the printer.
Both open the same place. Telegram's styled codes come with colours and patterns; this one is plain black on white, which most phone cameras read easily from a distance.
Scanning a Telegram QR code
A Telegram QR code holds an ordinary t.me web address, so any phone camera that reads QR codes can open it. If Telegram is installed, the link opens in the app. If not, it opens a t.me web page with the chat's name and a link to download Telegram.
Questions
Where can I get my Telegram QR code?
In the Telegram app, your own QR code is in Settings, and other people's are behind the QR icon next to their username. To print one, type the username above and download the QR code.
How do I scan a Telegram QR code?
Point your phone's camera at it and tap the link that appears, or use the camera inside Telegram. To read a code saved in your photos, see our guide to scanning a Telegram QR code from your gallery.
Can I log in to Telegram with a QR code?
Telegram Desktop and Telegram Web can show a login QR code that you scan with Telegram on your phone. That code comes from Telegram itself; this tool makes QR codes for t.me links, not login codes.
