What is a YouTube QR code?
A YouTube QR code encodes your channel or video URL directly, so a scan opens it instantly in the YouTube app or a browser. It is static — the link lives inside the pattern, so the code never expires and needs no hosting.
Three steps
How to create a YouTube QR code
1
Paste your link
Choose YouTube and add your channel handle or paste a full video URL — the code updates as you type.
2
Make it yours
Add your channel art colours, a centre logo and a “Watch now” frame.
3
Download & share
Export a high-resolution PNG or vector SVG for print, thumbnails or slides.

FAQ
YouTube QR codes, answered
Can I link to a specific video?
Yes. Paste the full video URL and the code points straight to that video; use your channel link to send people to your whole channel.
Does it expire?
No. The link is encoded directly in the QR code, so it never expires and keeps working forever.
Will it open the YouTube app?
On phones with the app installed, scanning typically opens the video in the app; otherwise it opens in the browser.
