Etsy QR Code Generator

Create scannable QR codes that send buyers to your Etsy shop, product listings, or coupon links.

Pro tips

  1. Add QR codes to packaging inserts — most Etsy purchases are repeat buyers who may forget your shop name otherwise.
  2. Link to your review page — most consumers say reviews impact their purchase decisions.
  3. Minimum size is 2×2 cm (0.8 inches) for close scanning — go larger for signs and packaging.
  4. Leave a quiet zone of at least 4mm of empty space around the QR code edges.
  5. Dark foreground on light background scans best — keep at least a 4:1 contrast ratio.
  6. Test your QR code on 2-3 different phones before printing large batches.
  7. Use QR codes at craft fairs and markets to drive in-person shoppers to your online store.
  8. Link to care instructions, how-to guides, or tutorial videos to enhance the customer experience.

Frequently asked questions

What can I link with this tool?

You can link to any Etsy URL including your shop homepage, individual product listings, specific shop sections, coupon/sale links, or custom landing pages. The QR code will direct scanners to whatever valid Etsy link you provide.

How do I make sure my Etsy URL is valid?

The tool automatically validates your URL to ensure it's a proper Etsy link. It will add 'https://' if you forget it and verify the domain is etsy.com. If there's an issue with your URL, you'll see an error message before generating.

What size should I download?

Choose based on your use case: • 320px: Perfect for small stickers, business cards, or product tags • 400px: Great for thank-you cards and small packaging inserts • 480px: Ideal for standard packaging and flyers • 600px: Best for posters, signs, and large-format printing

Can I customize the colors?

Yes! You can customize both the foreground (the QR pattern) and background colors. For best scanning reliability, maintain high contrast between the two colors—dark foreground on light background works best. Avoid low-contrast combinations that may be difficult to scan.

How do I download the QR code?

After generating your QR code, click the 'Download PNG' button to save a high-quality image file to your device. You can then import this image into Canva, your packaging design software, or print it directly for physical materials.

Do the QR codes expire?

No, these QR codes never expire. They encode your Etsy URL directly, so as long as your Etsy shop or listing exists, the QR code will work. There's no tracking or redirect service that could go offline—it's a permanent link to your store.
