LINE QR codes
A public LINE QR code is usually a static URL QR code. The QR image stores a LINE destination such as an Official Account add-friend URL, chat link, OpenChat or group invite, LIFF app, Mini App, or a landing page that sends scanners to LINE.
LINE documents modern links under https://line.me/R/, https://liff.line.me/, and https://miniapp.line.me/. Avoid relying on deprecated line:// links for public QR campaigns, because they can behave less safely and less reliably outside LINE.
QR Code Crafter creates the static QR asset from the LINE URL you provide. It does not connect to your LINE account, create official LINE friend QR codes for you, verify account ownership, collect scan analytics, or place a hosted redirect between the scanner and LINE.
Key decisions
Use verified LINE destinations
Paste an Official Account profile link, add-friend URL, chat URL, share URL, OpenChat or group invite, LIFF URL, Mini App URL, or campaign landing page.
Good fit for Asia-market placements
Use LINE QR codes on storefront stickers, table tents, receipts, packaging, event badges, loyalty cards, menus, and hospitality signage.
Static files without scan limits
The downloaded QR code stores the final LINE destination directly, so the QR image does not depend on a QR subscription or tracking redirect.
Export for print and digital use
Use SVG, PDF, or EPS for shops, menus, flyers, stickers, and packaging; use PNG, JPG, or WebP for sites, email, docs, and social assets.
LINE QR destination choices
| Destination | Best use | Check before publishing |
|---|---|---|
| Official Account profile or add-friend URL | Stores, restaurants, clinics, salons, schools, creators, and support accounts that want followers or chat subscribers. | Confirm the LINE ID, public profile, and add-friend behavior from a phone that is not already connected. |
| LINE chat URL | Customer support, booking requests, product questions, sales follow-up, appointment reminders, and aftercare handoffs. | Test the chat opens to the expected Official Account and does not expose private admin or session context. |
| OpenChat or group invite | Classes, events, communities, clubs, travel groups, local notices, creator communities, and temporary cohorts. | Check invite expiry, privacy, moderation, member limits, and whether the link is appropriate for public print. |
| LIFF app or LINE Mini App | Reservations, coupons, loyalty flows, order forms, membership cards, lead capture, and in-LINE service workflows. | Confirm the LIFF or Mini App URL is production-ready, fast, permission-safe, and works on iOS and Android. |
| LINE share URL | Campaigns that encourage scanners to share text, promotions, referrals, or invitations inside LINE. | Percent-encode messages correctly and test the share sheet before using it publicly. |
| Landing page before LINE | Campaigns needing UTM analytics, language choice, consent copy, multiple contact options, or fallback links. | Keep the page fast and make the LINE action clear above the fold. |
Where LINE QR codes work well
LINE QR codes are strongest when the audience already uses LINE and needs a fast path from an offline moment into chat, loyalty, booking, or community action.
Retail, restaurants, and hospitality
Add LINE QR codes to storefront windows, table tents, receipts, menus, takeaway bags, hotel room cards, appointment cards, and loyalty displays.
Customer service and booking
Route customers from packaging, invoices, aftercare cards, posters, and support desks into a LINE Official Account chat or booking workflow.
Events and communities
Use LINE QR codes on badges, tickets, venue signs, programs, school handouts, club cards, and local community boards.
LIFF and Mini App workflows
Use QR codes for LINE-native coupons, forms, loyalty programs, reservations, campaigns, and lead capture when the app URL is already configured.
Testing and safety checks
LINE QR issues usually come from private or expired invites, deprecated deep links, account-specific admin URLs, app handoff differences, or links tested only by the account owner.
Use supported HTTPS links
Prefer https://line.me/R/, https://liff.line.me/, or https://miniapp.line.me/ links. Avoid line:// links for public QR codes because LINE marks that scheme as deprecated.
Test outside the owner account
Scan from a phone or LINE account that is not already a friend, member, or admin so you see what a new customer or visitor sees.
Keep fallback context visible
Print the LINE ID, account name, group purpose, campaign name, or short fallback URL next to the QR code so scanners understand the destination.
Scan the final artwork
Test after the QR code is placed into the menu, sticker, sign, receipt, package, badge, card, or display at the real size and lighting.
LINE QR code checklist
- Choose the exact destination: Official Account, add-friend link, chat, OpenChat, group invite, LIFF app, Mini App, share URL, or landing page.
- Prefer supported HTTPS LINE links and avoid deprecated line:// URLs for public QR campaigns.
- Confirm the LINE ID, account name, group, app, or campaign destination before generating the QR code.
- Test from a phone or account that is not already connected to the LINE destination.
- Check invite expiry, group privacy, member limits, moderation, and permissions before printing group or OpenChat links.
- Print a readable LINE ID, account name, or fallback URL near the QR code.
- Use UTM parameters on a controlled landing page when you need campaign analytics before the LINE handoff.
- Export SVG, PDF, or EPS for print and scan the final artwork before publishing.
How to create a QR code for LINE

- 2

Scan the QR code on iOS and Android, confirm the LINE destination opens correctly, then export SVG, PDF, EPS, PNG, JPG, or WebP.
Frequently asked questions
Which LINE link should I use for a QR code?
Use the final viewer-facing URL: an Official Account profile or add-friend link, chat URL, OpenChat or group invite, LIFF URL, Mini App URL, LINE share URL, or a landing page you control.
Is this the same as LINE Official Account Manager QR code?
No. LINE Official Account Manager can issue its own add-friend QR code. QR Code Crafter creates a static QR asset from a LINE URL you provide, which is useful for branded artwork and print exports.
Can I use line:// links in a QR code?
Avoid line:// for public QR campaigns. LINE documents it as deprecated; use supported HTTPS LINE links such as https://line.me/R/, LIFF, Mini App, or a landing page where possible.
Will a LINE QR code open the LINE app?
Often on iOS and Android when LINE is installed, but behavior depends on the URL type, scanner, browser, operating system, and app state. Test on the devices your audience is likely to use.
Do LINE QR codes expire?
The static QR image does not expire by itself. It keeps pointing to the same URL, but private invite links, group settings, or account settings can change later.
Can I track scans of a LINE QR code?
A direct static QR code does not provide scan analytics. Use a fast landing page with UTM tracking before LINE when campaign measurement is required.
