Your music, one scan away.
Paste a Spotify link below — a song, playlist, album, artist or podcast — and Frame builds a standard QR code that any phone camera can scan to open it. Customize it and download, entirely in your browser.
Frames use your current colours. Choosing one replaces an active preset.
Frame turns a Spotify share link into a standard QR code. Paste the link to a song, playlist, album, artist, podcast or episode, and anyone can scan the code with their phone camera to open it on Spotify. It's free, with no signup and no watermark, and the code is made in your browser.
How do I create a QR code for Spotify? In Spotify, open the song, playlist, album, artist or podcast and choose Share → Copy link. Paste the link into the box above and click Generate QR Code. Customize the design, scan-test it, then download the PNG.

A standard QR code, so listeners don't have to open Spotify first to scan it, unlike a Spotify Code.
The code holds the link you paste, with no Frame redirect in between, so it never depends on Frame staying online.
Colours, gradients, dot shapes, frames and a centre logo, with a low-contrast warning for gradients.
Download 2400 px or 4000 px PNGs for packaging, merch and large prints, with no watermark.
A Spotify QR code is a regular QR code that stores a Spotify share link, an
https://open.spotify.com/... or spotify.link/... address. When someone
scans it, their phone offers to open that link, which leads straight to the song, playlist,
album, artist page, podcast, episode or profile on Spotify.
The code holds only the link, not the music. It doesn't contain any audio, and what the listener can play still depends on Spotify: whether the content is available in their country, their account or subscription, and any content restrictions. Frame doesn't connect to Spotify or look anything up. It encodes the link you paste, exactly as it is.
Spotify has its own scannable format, the Spotify Code: a row of bars shown next to the Spotify logo. It's easy to mistake for a QR code, but the two work differently.
| Spotify QR code from Frame | Spotify Code | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Standard QR code | Spotify's own proprietary format |
| Scanned with | A phone camera or any QR scanner app | Generally the scanner inside the Spotify app |
| What's inside | Your Spotify https link | A code only Spotify's app can read |
| Design | Your colours, shapes, frame and logo | Spotify's fixed style |
| Made in | Frame, on this page | Spotify |
Frame doesn't make Spotify Codes. On posters, packaging and flyers you can't be sure people will think to open Spotify's own scanner, so a code that any camera recognises usually reaches more listeners.
Any Spotify share link works, but each type suits a different job.
The most flexible choice. The code points to the playlist, not to individual tracks, so you can add, remove or reorder songs later and the same printed code shows the updated list. Good for events, shops and “our wedding playlist” cards.
Opens one track. Best when you're promoting a single or a particular song, on a gig flyer or a gift card. The link belongs to that release, so a remaster or re-release may have a different link.
Made for physical releases: vinyl sleeves, CD inserts and cassette cards, so buyers can stream the record too. If the album isn't out yet, print the artist link instead.
The most long-lasting music link. An artist page shows the latest releases, popular tracks and a follow button, so it suits merch, business cards and press kits that stay in use for years.
Link the show (/show/...) for ongoing promotion so listeners can follow it. Link a single episode (/episode/...) when a flyer or slide is about one guest or topic.
A profile link (/user/...) shows your public playlists. Useful for DJs, curators and anyone who shares lots of playlists. Copy it from your profile's ⋯ menu with Share → Copy link.
Short spotify.link/... links work too and are encoded exactly as pasted. Links
that start with spotify: aren't accepted because they need the Spotify app to open.
Use Share → Copy link to get the https:// version.
A Spotify Code is scanned differently, using the scanner inside the Spotify app. That's the main reason to prefer a QR code when you don't know whether your audience uses Spotify.
| Where | What to link | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Concert & event posters | Artist page or tour playlist | Size it for how far away people stand |
| Artist merchandise | Artist page | Put it on swing tags or flat areas, not across folds |
| Vinyl & CD packaging | The album | Use a plain light panel of the sleeve or insert |
| Album-release flyers | Artist page before release, then the album or lead single | Reprint with the album link once it's out |
| Podcast promotion | The show, or one episode | Name the podcast next to the code |
| Business cards & press kits | Artist page or podcast | Keep it at least 2–2.5 cm across |
| Social media graphics | A playlist or episode | Lets people on a laptop or TV scan with their phone |
| Venue & shop signage | The playlist playing in the room | Add a line such as “Scan to see what's playing” |
| Wedding & party invitations | The event playlist | Scan a printed sample before ordering the full run |
A music code often sits next to others: a Location QR code for the venue, a Facebook QR code for your page, or a Google Form QR code for a mailing-list sign-up. Making codes for every track on an album? Paste all the links into the Batch QR generator.
No. Frame creates a static QR code: the Spotify link is stored inside the pattern itself, with no Frame redirect or account behind it. The code never expires and keeps working even if you never come back to Frame.
The destination can still stop working. If a track or album is taken down, a playlist is deleted or made private, the content isn't available in the scanner's country, or Spotify changes how its links work, the code opens a page that no longer shows what you intended. Frame can't redirect a printed static code, so the fix is a new code with a working link. Frame has no scan tracking or analytics either. The static vs dynamic QR codes guide explains the trade-off.
Your Spotify link is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to Frame. The page makes no request with it while you create the code. It doesn't contact Spotify or look up the link. When someone scans the finished code and opens it, they're visiting Spotify, and Spotify's own policies and request handling apply. Frame is not affiliated with or endorsed by Spotify.
Need a code for something else, such as a website, WiFi network or contact card? Use the main QR code generator.
In Spotify, open the song, playlist, album, artist or podcast, choose Share → Copy link, and paste the link into the generator at the top of this page. Click Generate QR Code, customize it if you like, then download the PNG.
Yes. Copy the playlist's link with Share → Copy link and paste it in. The code points to the playlist itself, so songs you add or remove later show up for anyone who scans it.
Open the song in Spotify, choose Share → Copy link, and paste the link into Frame. The code opens that exact track.
Yes. Album and artist pages have share links like any other Spotify content. An artist link lasts longest on merch and business cards, because the page always shows the latest releases.
Yes. Link the show to promote the podcast as a whole, or a single episode to feature one guest or topic. Both links come from Share → Copy link.
A QR code from Frame is a standard QR code containing your Spotify link, so any phone camera or QR scanner can read it. A Spotify Code is Spotify's own format and is generally scanned inside the Spotify app. Frame doesn't generate Spotify Codes.
Point your phone's camera or a QR scanner app at the code and tap the link that appears. It opens in the Spotify app if it's installed and set to handle Spotify links, or in the browser otherwise.
No. It's a static code with the Spotify link stored directly in it, so the code itself never expires. It only stops being useful if the Spotify link stops working, for example because the content is removed.
Yes. Changing the tracks, title or cover keeps the same playlist link, so the printed code keeps opening the playlist with your latest changes. Deleting the playlist breaks the link.
People who scan the code may no longer be able to open it, depending on Spotify's current sharing rules. After changing a playlist's visibility, test the code on a phone that isn't logged in to your account.
Not to scan it: any camera or QR app works, and the link opens in a browser if Spotify isn't installed. Playing the music may need the app or a Spotify account, depending on the device and content.
Yes. You can change colours, use a gradient, pick dot and corner shapes, add a caption frame and put a logo in the centre, then download up to 4000 px. Keep strong contrast and test the result after any design change.
No. Your Spotify link is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to Frame. When someone scans the code and opens it, they are visiting Spotify, and Spotify's own policies apply.
No. Frame is an independent QR code tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Spotify. Spotify is named only to describe the links this tool works with.
