How to create TikTok QR codes?

QR codes are one of the fastest and most engaging ways to connect people to your TikTok content – no extra clicks, no confusion. Whether you’re promoting a product, growing your audience, or boosting brand visibility, a TikTok QR code makes sharing seamless and effective.

But here’s the catch: TikTok only lets you create a QR code for your profile, not for specific videos. And even that built-in option offers zero customization and no tracking.

That’s why in this guide, we’re showing you two ways to create TikTok QR codes:

• The basic TikTok method (profile-only, no branding, no analytics)
• A smarter, more customizable method using Replug (works for both profiles and videos, with full tracking and branding.

Let’s get started!

Why should you create QR codes for TikTok?

QR codes make it easier to:

• Drive traffic directly to your TikTok content
• Use print or offline channels (flyers, posters, packaging, etc.)
• Boost engagement in events, stores, or real-world settings
• Avoid long links or usernames and connect with your audience instantly

With tools like Replug, you also have full control over QR branding, retargeting, and analytics – something the TikTok-native method can’t offer.
