Unlike the standard UPC bar codes you can find on products at the supermarket, QR codes can contain up to 4,296 alphanumeric characters, which is more than enough to store a link to your Facebook page or profile. Using a dedicated app, users can scan QR codes and that automatically direct to the website whose link is embedded in the code. Placing a QR code containing a link to Facebook on a physical object — such as a poster, T-shirt or bag — can help bring additional traffic and Likes to your Facebook profile or page. Create a QR code that directs to a Facebook page or profile by using one of three free online QR code generators.
QR Stuff
Step 1
Visit the QR Stuff home page and select Facebook under Data Type.
Step 2
Select whether you would like to create a link to Facebook or a link that prompts visitors to Like your page or profile, and enter your Facebook page or profile URL in the text field.
Step 3
Save, print or email the QR code you just created by clicking one of the buttons under Output Type.
Tip
By default, QR codes are black on a white background. Select a different foreground color for your code by using the color picker under Foreground Color.
Free Barcode Generator
Step 1
Visit the Free Barcode Generator home page and enter your Facebook profile or page's URL in the text field.
Tip
Optionally, edit the QR code's size by entering a different value in the Size of Generated Barcode field. Since the default value is 100, entering 200, for example, would generate a QR code that is twice as large as the default one.
Step 2
Click the Make Mobile Barcode button.
Step 3
Save the QR code to your hard drive by right-clicking the image and selecting Save Image As.
Tip
If you want to embed the QR code on a Web page, copy the HTML code displayed on the page and paste it into the page's source code.
QR Code Generator
Step 1
Visit the QR Code Generator website and select the URL icon under Type.
Step 2

Clicking either Download or Embed opens a new pop-up frame that lets you edit your QR code's appearance and size.
