Busker's case or amp
A street musician tapes a track code inside their guitar case so a listener can find the recorded version before they've even finished the song.

Spotify QR code generator
Any artist, album, playlist or track can become a Spotify QR code that anyone scans with their phone's camera. Any open.spotify.com link works, from an artist page to a single podcast episode.

Scan it once from the screen before you print a batch. Keep it 2 cm or larger on paper, and leave the white margin around it.

Same code, more placesSave this design - colors, corners, logo and frame - and put it on any code later. Saved in this browser.
One value per line, or paste a CSV. With two columns the first is the file name and the second is the value. Every code uses the design you set up above.
Lay the code out on an A4 page with cut marks, ready for the printer or a label sheet.
What a Spotify QR code links to
Paste any open.spotify.com link and the generator turns it straight into a code - Spotify's links already carry everything a scanner needs, so there is nothing to reformat. A spotify: link works too, if that is what you have copied.
Share any Spotify page - artist, album, playlist or episode
Every Spotify page - an artist, an album, a playlist, a track, a show or an episode - has its own open.spotify.com address, and any of them turns into a working code.
- Artist
- open.spotify.com/artist/... - their page, latest release and top tracks.
- Album
- open.spotify.com/album/... - the full album, in order.
- Playlist
- open.spotify.com/playlist/... - one playlist, public or shared.
- Track or episode
- open.spotify.com/track/... or /episode/... - one song or episode, directly.
Share your Spotify playlist QR code straight from the app
In the Spotify app, open the playlist, tap the three dots, choose Share, then Copy Link Playlist - that link is exactly what belongs in the generator's field. Nothing is rewritten: the code opens the same address, so a private or collaborative playlist stays exactly as shareable as the link already was.
1https://open.spotify.com/playlist/237i9dQZExamplePlay
- https://open.spotify.com/playlist/ tells any phone camera or app this is a playlist, not a track or an artist.
- 37i9dQZExamplePlay the playlist's own ID, assigned by Spotify when it was created.
Why this isn't Spotify's own built-in scan code
Spotify also has its own scannable image on every artist, album, playlist and profile page - a row of bars around a small logo, not a square grid - and it only opens from the camera inside the Spotify app itself. A code from this generator is a standard QR code instead, built from a normal link, so any camera app opens it and nobody needs to be signed in to Spotify first.
Where a Spotify QR code gets scanned
Café speaker playlist
Bloom Cafe prints the code for their background playlist on a small card by the till, so regulars who ask what's playing can just scan it.

Podcast episode flyer
A flyer for a live show links straight to the episode that discusses it, instead of the show's whole back catalogue.

Spotify QR code questions
If the link itself opens for the people you share it with, the code will too - the code just carries the same link, it doesn't change who can open it.
Yes - a show or episode link works the same way as a track or playlist link.
No - any phone camera reads the QR code and opens the link in a browser, which then offers to continue in the Spotify app if it's installed.
That's Spotify's own internal link format, mostly seen inside the desktop app - the generator accepts it exactly as copied.
Yes - the link points at the playlist itself, not a snapshot of its tracks, so adding or removing songs afterwards doesn't affect the code.
