Multi-link QR codes contain multiple links to different web pages. They’re most commonly paired with social media profiles. For instance, a user can link to a personalized profile page, with links to their different profiles on platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and more.

They can also contain URLs to different websites, but they aren’t as widely adopted. That’s because QR codes can only contain so much information, so QR codes with multiple URLs may exceed the storage limits of a QR code. Additionally, because of the amount of information encoded, the QR codes in question can become difficult to scan, meaning it’s much more convenient to just link to a page that contains all the different URLs you want to include.
