Troubleshooting

Q: QR code links to wrong profile

A: Verify your Instagram username is spelled correctly. Check for case sensitivity and extra spaces.

Q: Code won't scan

A: If you added a logo, make sure it doesn't cover the QR code data zones. Try a smaller logo or higher contrast version.

Q: How do I add a link to specific content?

A: Instagram links go to profiles, not specific posts. To drive to a post, use a URL QR code pointing to your bio link.

Q: Can I change my username after creating the QR code?

A: Use a dynamic QR code. Even if you change usernames, the QR code updates automatically.
