How do I get a QR code for my Discord server?

Copy your server invite link in Discord (server name → Invite People → Edit invite link → set Expire after: Never), then paste it into the generator on this page with the URL type selected — a Discord QR code is simply a URL QR code. Customize the color and logo, then download it as a PNG with a free account — SVG and PDF come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. For a printed code you can update later, use a dynamic QR code.

How do I log into Discord with a QR code?

That is Discord’s own built-in feature, not something QRKIT makes. On the Discord desktop app or web login screen, a QR code appears; open the Discord mobile app where you are already signed in, use its scan option, and approve the prompt to log in without a password. It expires in about 2 minutes. Security warning: never scan or approve a login QR code you did not generate yourself, as scammers use fake ones to steal accounts.

Is the Discord QR code generator free?

Yes. Creating and customizing a Discord QR code is free with no account, and downloading takes a free account. Static codes are unlimited and never expire. The free plan also covers 1 dynamic code with up to 100 scans a month, 30 days of scan history, the summary scan stats, PNG downloads up to 1024px, and a “Powered by QRKIT” interstitial on the scan page. The SVG and PDF exports are the paid part — a one-time Download Pack unlocks them, and so does any plan: Starter, at $6/mo billed annually, also removes that interstitial, uncaps scans, raises the limit to 12 codes and unlocks the full analytics breakdown. See pricing for details.

Why does my Discord QR code stop working?

Almost always because the invite link expired. Discord invite links expire after 7 days by default, so the QR still scans but the join fails. Fix it by setting the invite to Expire after: Never with no usage limit, or by using a dynamic QR code so you can point the same code at a fresh invite without reprinting. A static code locks in whatever link you used, so it cannot be changed after printing.

Can I track how many people scan my Discord QR code?

Yes, with a dynamic QR code — and you do not need a paid plan to start. The free plan includes one dynamic code with the summary stats: total scans, unique scans, top location and top device, for up to 100 scans a month, kept for 30 days. The full breakdown — geo and device tables, charts over time, custom date ranges and CSV export — starts on Starter at $6/mo billed annually. Tracking only ever covers scan metrics; it never includes any Discord account or member data. Static codes cannot be tracked.

Static vs dynamic for a Discord invite, which should I use?

Use a static code for quick digital or one-off use when your invite is set to never expire; static codes are free, unlimited, and permanent. Use a dynamic code for anything printed or long-term, because you can repoint it at a fresh invite without reprinting and it records scans. The free plan covers one dynamic code with 100 scans a month; more codes, uncapped scans and the full analytics breakdown start on the paid plans.

Can I add the Discord logo to my QR code?

Yes. The logo picker includes a Discord logo, and this page pre-selects it for you — or upload your own community logo instead. Pair it with Discord Blurple (#5865F2) as your accent color. The logo sits at a fixed size in the centre of the code and error correction is fixed at level Q (about 25% recovery), so scan-test the final export before you print. See our logo QR code and custom QR code guides for design options.

Can I make one QR code for all my social profiles?

Yes. Instead of separate codes, use a single social media QR code that opens a landing page linking your Discord, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and more. Building it on a dynamic code lets you update your links anytime without changing the printed QR.

What file formats can I download?

PNG, SVG, and PDF. PNG suits web and social, and the free plan caps PNG downloads at 1024px. SVG is the only true vector export in this generator, so send SVG to a print shop or use it for anything large. The PDF is convenient for handouts, but it wraps a raster image rather than vector artwork, so it is not the one to print big. The PNG comes with a free account; SVG and PDF need a paid plan or the one-time Download Pack.

Does a Discord QR code expire?

The QR code image itself does not expire. A static code encodes your invite link permanently and keeps scanning forever. A dynamic code keeps redirecting for as long as it lives in your QRKIT account, with one caveat on the free plan: past 100 scans in a month a free dynamic code stops redirecting until the monthly reset. What genuinely has an expiry date is the Discord invite behind the code — that is Discord's setting, not the QR code's, and it is the first thing to check if people cannot join.

Can I create QR codes for multiple Discord servers at once?

Yes. If you manage several communities, the bulk QR code generator builds a batch of codes from a list of invite links you upload or paste. Bulk generation runs in your dashboard on the Plus plan and above ($16/mo billed annually) — it is not included on Free or Starter, where you create codes one at a time.

Will the QR code work on both iPhone and Android?

Yes. A Discord invite QR is a standard URL QR code that any modern iPhone or Android camera reads natively, with no special app. Always do a quick scan test on both before printing; if it will not scan, see our scanning guide.

Can I edit the QR code after I print it?

Only if it is a dynamic QR code. Dynamic codes let you change the destination (for example, to a new invite link) while the printed image stays the same, and changing the destination is included on every plan, free included. A static code is fixed once created, so plan ahead or go dynamic for anything you print.

First, a quick clarification

Discord's Built-in Login QR Code (Not What We Make)

If you searched for a Discord login QR code, that feature belongs to Discord itself, not to QRKIT. It's the QR code on the Discord desktop app or the discord.com login screen that lets you sign in by scanning with your phone instead of typing a password.

QRKIT does not create, scan, or process login QR codes. What we make is a QR code for your server invite link so people can join your community. Here's how Discord's own login QR works, so you know exactly which one you need.

How Discord's login QR works

1Open Discord on your computer (desktop app or web). A QR code appears on the login screen.
2On your phone, open the Discord mobile app where you're already logged in.
3Go to your user settings and choose the scan option (or use the in-app camera) to scan the code on your screen.
4Confirm the login prompt in the app. Your desktop signs in with no password typed.

This is Discord's feature, not ours

QRKIT never touches your Discord account or login. Discord's login QR expires in about 2 minutes and always requires you to approve the sign-in inside your mobile app. Security warning: never scan or approve a login QR code you didn't generate yourself on your own screen. Scammers use fake login QR codes to hijack accounts. To join a server, you only ever need an invite QR — which is what the tool above builds.

Step by step

How to Create a QR Code for Your Discord Server

Copy Your Server Invite Link

Open Discord, click your server name, and choose Invite People. Before copying, click Edit invite link and set it to never expire (details in the next section). Copy the discord.gg link.

Open the QRKIT Generator

Use the generator on this page and select the URL type. That's all a Discord QR code is: a QR that opens a web link, in this case your invite.

Paste Your Invite Link

Drop the copied invite link into the field. Your QR code previews instantly, so you can see it update as you make changes.

Customize It

Switch your accent to Discord Blurple (#5865F2), upload your Discord or community logo into the center, and add a call-to-action frame like “Join our Discord.” Keep contrast high so it scans fast.

Download and Test

Download a PNG for web with a free account. SVG for crisp large prints and PDF for handouts come with any paid plan or the one-time Download Pack. Scan it with both an iPhone and an Android camera before you publish or print anything.

For anything you print, go dynamic: a static code encodes the invite link permanently, so if that link ever changes, the printed code is dead. A dynamic QR code keeps the same image while letting you swap the destination to a fresh invite anytime, and it adds scan tracking. Creating either type is free, and the free plan covers one dynamic code with up to 100 scans a month and the summary scan stats; unlimited scans and the full analytics breakdown start on a paid plan.

How to Get Your Discord Server Invite Link

A QR code for a Discord server only works if the invite link behind it stays live. Here's how to grab a link that won't expire on you.

On desktop or web

1Click your server name at the top-left of the app.
2Choose Invite People.
3Click Edit invite link (the small edit or gear control near the link).
4Set Expire after to Never.
5Set Max number of uses to No limit.
6Copy the link. You need at least the Create Invite permission on the server.

On mobile: open your server, tap the invite option (long-press the server or use the members/invite screen), then copy the link. To change expiration and usage limits, use the edit controls on the invite screen, or set them once on desktop.

Discord invite links expire after 7 days by default

That's the single most common reason a printed Discord QR code stops working. Before you generate a QR for print, either (a) set the invite to Expire after: Never with No usage limit, or (b) use a dynamic QR code so you can point the same code at a fresh invite link later without reprinting.

Know the difference

Server Invite QR vs Login QR vs Custom QR Code

Three different QR codes get called a “Discord QR code.” Here's what each one does, so you pick the right one.

Discord Login QR

Discord's own

Discord's built-in code for signing into the desktop app with your phone. It's not something we make, it expires in about 2 minutes, and it should only ever be scanned on your own screen. Not used for joining servers.

Basic Invite QR

Free

A plain URL QR code pointing to your server invite link. Free, static, and it opens in any phone camera. Perfect for a quick, one-off code — as long as the invite is set to never expire.

QRKIT Custom / Dynamic

Recommended

Everything the basic invite QR does, plus your branding (Blurple accent, your logo, a “Join” frame), an editable destination you can update anytime, and scan tracking and analytics. Free to create and customize, and the free plan covers one dynamic code with up to 100 scans a month; unlimited scans and the full analytics breakdown are on a paid plan.

Our recommendation: Use a basic invite QR for a quick digital share when your invite never expires. Use a custom QR code for anything branded, printed, or worth tracking. Custom QR codes are free to create, and the free plan tracks one dynamic code up to 100 scans a month; unlimited scans and the full analytics breakdown start on a paid plan (Starter, from $6/mo billed annually).

Where they shine

Ways to Use a Discord QR Code

Gaming Communities & Clans

Put your server QR on your clan banner, Discord widget, or in-game overlay so new players join in one scan. Great for recruiting during LAN parties and community game nights.

Streamers & Content Creators

Drop the QR on your stream overlay, end screen, or offline banner so viewers hop straight into your server. Pair it with your other channels using Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube QR codes.

Events, Meetups & Tournaments

Print the QR on badges, table tents, and slide decks so attendees join the event server instantly. Combine it with an event QR code for calendar and RSVP details.

Brands & Businesses

Add a community QR to packaging, receipts, and product inserts to build a Discord around your brand. See more ideas in our guide to QR codes for business.

Education, Clubs & Study Groups

Share a class, club, or study-group server on a syllabus, poster, or handout so students join without hunting for the link. One scan and they're in.

Merch, Stickers & Print

Put your server QR on hoodies, laptop stickers, and flyers. Order a batch of QR code stickers and hand them out at cons, meetups, and pop-ups.

How to Scan a Discord QR Code

Scanning a normal invite QR: To join a server, no special app is needed. Open the built-in camera on any iPhone or Android, point it at the QR code, and tap the invite link that pops up. Discord opens to the join screen. If the camera doesn't detect it, most phones also scan QR codes from the Photos app or a free scanner app.

Scanning Discord's login QR: Discord's login QR is different and is scanned inside the Discord mobile app, not the phone camera. Only do this on Discord's own login screen on your own device. As covered above, never scan a login QR someone else sends you.

Scan not working?

Check size and contrast first: a QR that's too small, too low-contrast, or missing its quiet zone is hard to read. Our how to scan a QR code guide and QR code not working fixes walk through the rest. One Discord-specific trap: if the code scans fine but the join fails, the invite link has probably expired. Set the invite to never expire, or use a dynamic QR you can repoint.

Make it on-brand

Design Tips for a Discord QR Code That Scans

Use Discord Blurple

Set your QR accent to Discord Blurple (#5865F2) so it feels native to the platform. Keep the code darker than its background for reliable scanning.

Upload Your Logo

Add your community or Discord logo to the center of the code. Upload your own image file, and keep it small so it doesn't cover too many data modules.

Print at the Right Size

Use at least 2 × 2 cm (about 0.8 in), and follow the 10:1 rule: for every 10 units of scan distance, add 1 unit of QR width.

Keep the Quiet Zone

Leave clear empty space around all four sides and avoid busy backgrounds behind the code. High contrast plus a clean margin equals a fast scan.

Test Before Printing

Always scan your final export on both an iPhone and an Android before you commit to a print run. Two minutes of testing saves a wasted batch.

Use a Dynamic QR for Print

For anything physical, use a dynamic QR code so you can update the invite link later without reprinting. Your printed code stays valid when the link changes.

Add a Call-to-Action

Wrap the code in a short frame like “Join our Discord” or “Scan to join the server.” A clear prompt lifts scan rates far more than a bare code.
