🎵Share Your Music Instantly

A Spotify QR code can open an artist profile, an album, a single track, a playlist, or a podcast. Copy the share link from Spotify and use it as the destination. For gig posters and merchandise, the artist profile is usually the safest choice, because it stays useful after the next release, while an album link suits a record sleeve or launch poster.

Spotify opens in its app if it is installed and in the web player otherwise. Some listeners use other services, so for a release, consider linking to a page that lists all the places to listen. Spotify also has its own scannable codes inside the app, but they only work when scanned from Spotify, while a standard QR code works with any phone camera.

Venues and shops often use playlist codes to share what is playing. A dynamic QR code lets you change the playlist each season, or point to a new single when it comes out, without changing the printed sign or the sticker on your merch.

Scan analytics show when and where codes are opened, which can help an artist see whether posters in one city led to more listens than another. Streams themselves are counted in Spotify for Artists, not in QuikQR.
