How to Make and Scan Spotify Codes

Spotify Codes are like QR codes for music—quick, scannable links to songs, albums, playlists, profiles, and podcasts. Instead of copying and pasting links, you can just point your phone at a code and boom—music starts playing. Whether you’re sharing your latest playlist or discovering a new artist, Spotify Codes make it faster and cooler.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create and scan Spotify Codes.

🔧 How to Make a Spotify Code

1. Open Spotify
   On your phone or computer, go to the song, playlist, album, or podcast episode you want to share.
2. Click the Three Dots (⋮ or …)
   On mobile, you’ll see this below the track or album art. On desktop, right-click the item.
3. Select “Share” → “Copy Link”
   This gives you the URL for that Spotify item.
4. Go to the Spotify Codes Website
   Visit https://www.spotifycodes.com
5. Paste the Link
   Drop the link into the box on the site and click “Get Spotify Code.”
6. Customize the Code (Optional)
   You can adjust the background color, bar color, and size.
7. Download the Code
   Save it as a PNG or SVG. You can now print it, post it on social media, add it to a flyer—whatever you want.

📱 How to Scan a Spotify Code

1. Open the Spotify App on your phone.
2. Tap “Search” at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap the Camera Icon in the top-right corner.
4. Point Your Camera at a Spotify Code
   Or upload a screenshot with a code.
5. Boom. Done.
   The app will instantly open the track, album, or playlist linked to the code.

🧠 Why Use Spotify Codes?

• Quick Sharing: No need to send links.
• Offline Promotions: Great for flyers, posters, and merch.
• Creative Marketing: Musicians can use them on album art or stickers.
• Clean Look: No messy URLs.

💡 Pro Tips

• Spotify Codes work best with clear, high-resolution images.
• Avoid placing them on busy backgrounds—they scan best with contrast.
• You can also scan directly from another screen (like a friend’s phone or laptop).

Spotify Codes are a smart, simple tool to make sharing music smoother and faster. Once you try them, you’ll probably wonder why you didn’t use them sooner.
