In Spotify, open the Share menu on a track, album, artist, playlist, episode or show, and copy the link (or the Spotify URI).
Paste it into the field above.
Check the preview; the tool rebuilds the open.spotify.com link from the item type and ID, which drops the "si" tracking parameter and anything else in the query.
Pick a size that suits your poster, sticker, or packaging.

When to use it
Album art and merchandise
Print a code on a vinyl sleeve, poster, or sticker that opens the exact album or track it is next to.
Event flyers and posters
Link straight to a set playlist or a featured artist’s profile from a show flyer or venue signage.
Business cards for musicians and DJs
Add a code linking to your artist profile or latest release so people you meet can find your music immediately.
Restaurant or retail playlists
Share the exact playlist playing in your space so customers can find and follow it themselves.
Tips
Copy the link from Spotify’s own Share button
Using Spotify’s Share option guarantees you get a correctly formatted link or URI, rather than typing one out by hand and risking a typo in the ID.
The "si" parameter is stripped automatically
Spotify appends a tracking identifier to shared links that is not required for playback. The tool rebuilds the link from the item type and ID rather than editing the query, so "si" and every other parameter come off, and a locale prefix like /intl-de/ comes off with them. The code still opens the same track, album or playlist.
A Spotify-inspired green is the default, but you can change it
The tool starts with a darker shade of Spotify’s green (#16863D) as the foreground color, because Spotify’s exact brand green is too light against white to scan reliably. This shade clears the 4.5:1 the scannability meter looks for while still reading as Spotify green. Switch the foreground to black for small print or coloured stock, where the extra margin helps.
Link to a playlist, not just a track, for a longer listening session
A single track link plays one song; a playlist or album link gives the listener a full session, which fits better on signage meant to hold someone’s attention.
A Spotify Code is not the same thing as a QR code
Spotify has its own scannable graphic, the row of uneven bars under the album art, which you get from Share and Spotify Code in the app. It only scans from inside Spotify, using the camera in its search screen, so it works for people who already have the app open and does nothing for anyone else. A QR code scans with the plain camera on any phone and opens the same track or playlist, which is why it is the safer choice on a poster, a flyer or packaging where you cannot assume the app is installed.
Frequently asked questions
Spotify links are based on the track, album, artist or playlist ID, not your username, so renaming your profile does not break this code. It only breaks if you delete the linked content or make it private. See our guide on whether QR codes expire.
No, as long as the content stays available on Spotify. It is a static code: the link is encoded in the image itself.
No. Anyone with a link to a public track, album, artist, playlist, episode or show can make a code for it, and this generator needs no sign up.
Only if the playlist’s sharing setting allows anyone with the link to view it. A playlist set to private will show an error or an empty page to someone who has not been added to it, regardless of the QR code.
It is Spotify’s internal link format, such as spotify:track:xxxxxxxxxxxx. This tool accepts either form and converts a URI into the equivalent open.spotify.com web link.
This tool expects an open.spotify.com link or a spotify: URI for a track, album, artist, playlist, episode or show. Double check you copied the link from Spotify’s Share button rather than a search results page.
No. The link opens in the phone’s browser, and if the Spotify app is installed the phone offers to open it there instead. Without the app, the web player plays a preview or asks the visitor to log in, so a printed code works best for people who already use Spotify.
