Why a GitHub QR code
One scan, no typing
A QR code turns your GitHub profile or repository into something anyone can open with their phone camera — on print, on screen or in person.
-
Show your code, literally — Let people open your profile or project right from a slide or printed CV.
-
Profile or repository — Type username/repo to link straight to a project.
-
Private by design — The code is generated in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Guide
GitHub QR codes: what to know before you print
A GitHub QR code links to your profile, an organisation or a single repository. It is handy on CVs, conference slides and posters for open-source projects.
Tips for better results
- Type username/repo to link directly to a project.
- Link a release or a docs page if people need a download or instructions.
- Include the repo name as text; slides are often read from far away.
A common mistake
Linking to a private repository. Anyone without access sees a 404 page, so check the link in a private browser window.
FAQ
GitHub QR codes, explained
How do I make a GitHub QR code?
Enter your profile or repository in the generator above. The code is created instantly. Style the colors, shapes and center icon if you like, then download it as PNG or SVG.
Can I link to a repository instead of my profile?
Yes. Type username/repo (for example octocat/hello-world) or paste the repository URL.
Does it work for organizations?
Yes. Use the organization name exactly like a username.
Is this an official GitHub code?
No. BestQR is independent and not affiliated with GitHub. The code encodes a normal github.com link.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. Every code you download is yours to use anywhere, including commercial print.
Can I add my own logo?
Yes. In the Center icon control, choose the upload option and add a PNG or SVG. The generator raises the error-correction level automatically so the code stays reliably scannable.
PNG or SVG — which should I download?
PNG (2048px) is perfect for screens and everyday prints. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, so choose it for large signs, banners or professional printing.
