Handle, not a story URL
Stories expire. A profile does not. Paste @name, name, or a profile URL — we take the username. If you need a specific post, paste that full URL on the website page instead; this form is for a profile.
Packaging and windows
A follow code on a product insert works when the handle is stable. Dynamic still helps: rebrands happen, and scan counts tell you whether the insert is worth the print cost.

Questions
Is this affiliated with Instagram?
No. We make a QR for the public profile URL. There is no Instagram login and we do not use their logo.
Can I point at a Reel or a post?
Use the website generator and paste that URL. This page is for the profile, which is what most posters want.
What if I change my username?
Edit the destination on the Qex code to the new profile. Old printed codes keep working.
Private account?
The QR still opens the profile. Visitors who are not allowed to follow will see Instagram’s usual private-account screen.
