An Instagram card is a customizable identification QR code that other users can scan with their Instagram app to find and subscribe to your profile.

Where you can find the Instagram QR code

Instagram QR code is a unique QR code that users can scan to go to your profile and subscribe to you. It’s really convenient. If you have met someone and you want them to add you to Instagram, you can just show this QR code. You no longer have to spell your nickname, which takes a lot of time.

Your potential friend just needs to scan this code and it will go to your Instagram profile. Well, here’s how to find the QR code of your Instagram profile in a few easy steps.

How to access Instagram QR code on a mobile device

If you want to access your Instagram QR code on your mobile device, you have to follow these steps:

  • First of all, open the Instagram app on your iOS or Android mobile device and sign in to your Instagram account, if needed.
  • Then, go to your profile screen and tap on the “three lines” icon at the top right corner of the screen.
  • After that, tap on the “QR Code” option.
  • Finally, Instagram will display a QR code of your profile.

Once you have completed these steps, people can scan this code with the Instagram app to access your profile.

You can save your QR code in the gallery of your smartphone. Before you do this, you can change the background type of the QR code by tapping “Color” at the top. You can use a specific color, emoji, or selfies as the background.

If you want to share your QR code, you can tap on the “Share” button at the top right corner of the screen (the last screenshot).

How to find your Instagram QR code on desktop

If you want to access your Instagram QR code on your PC, you have to follow these steps:

  • At first, go to the Instagram official website and sign in to your Instagram account, if needed.
  • Then, click on your profile icon and select “Profile”.
  • After that, open the settings menu (click on the gear icon next to the “Edit Profile” button).
  • Next, select the “Nametag” option.
  • Finally, a new page with your Instagram QR code will be opened.

Once you have completed these steps, you will be able to share your Instagram account with other users.

You can also change the QR code’s color by clicking on the new color on the available options. After that, you can save the Instagram QR code to your PC. Just click on the “Download Nametag” button to do this.

How else can you use the Instagram QR code feature

You can share your Instagram QR code offline. To do this, you can stick the code on your business door, window, mirror, menu, etc. For example, if you have a football team, you can put a big sticker on the bench or anywhere you want. Post the code on other social networks and on your website.

That’s all you have to know about the Instagram QR code. Now, in case you meet a potential subscriber, just open the business card on your phone and let him scan it. If, for example, it’s your work account, then print out the business card on paper and attach it in a prominent place with an explanation of how to scan.
