Link List QR Codes: One Code, Several Links
Most QR codes have one obvious job: open this page. A link list QR code is for when that's not quite true - when a single scan needs to lead to a menu of choices instead of one destination.
Where it's actually useful
A storefront sticker that needs to cover a website, an Instagram profile, and a store locator at once, rather than picking just one to print. A conference badge pointing to a speaker's slides, contact info, and social profiles together. A business card for someone who'd rather hand over one code than list five URLs on the back.
What you're pointing it at
A page that lists multiple links - a dedicated link-in-bio tool (Linktree and similar services), or a simple page built on your own site if you'd rather not depend on a third party for it.
One thing worth knowing
A link list trades one-tap convenience for flexibility. Scanning a direct website QR code lands exactly where it's going; a link list adds a second tap; choosing which link, before getting there. That extra step is worth it only when there's a real reason more than one destination needs covering - not as a default way to avoid picking the one link that actually matters.
Getting started
Link list is one of 19 QR code types available after you sign up free - point it at your link-in-bio page or your own site, and it's ready to print.
Common questions
When should I use a link list QR code instead of a regular website QR code?
Only when there genuinely isn't one obvious destination - a code that needs to cover a menu, a reservation page, and a social profile all at once, for example. If one link clearly matters most, a direct website QR code gets there in one tap instead of two.
Do I need a separate link-in-bio tool to use this type?
No - a link list QR code just points to a page listing several links, which can be a dedicated link-in-bio tool or a simple page on your own site. Either works the same way once it's behind the code.
Can the links inside the list change after the QR code is printed?
If the page itself is editable (most link-in-bio tools and a page on your own site both are), yes - updating the page updates what the already-printed code leads to, without needing a new QR code at all.
