Link viewers to channels, videos, and playlists with a red-branded scannable code
The YouTube QR code template is a pre-configured design that combines YouTube’s red colour scheme with the play button logo at the centre of an ISO 18004-compliant scannable code. QR Code AI applies Reed-Solomon error correction to keep the code readable even with the embedded logo, and provides 50+ customisation parameters including 7 pixel styles and 7 marker shapes. Content creators, marketers, and businesses use this template on flyers, posters, product packaging, and business cards to direct scanners to channels, individual videos, or playlists.
A YouTube QR code template is a pre-configured scannable code design that adds YouTube’s red colour palette and play button logo into an ISO 18004-compliant QR code. QR Code AI places the logo within the error-correction zone so the QR code remains scannable while linking to any YouTube URL, including a channel page, individual video, playlist, or live stream. You can adjust 50+ parameters, then export in PNG, SVG, or WebP.
Creating a YouTube channel QR code in QR Code AI takes three steps: select the YouTube logo template, paste the full channel URL or custom handle into the destination field, and customise the design using 7 pixel styles and 7 marker shapes. The QR code opens your channel page when scanned with any smartphone camera. On premium plans, a dynamic QR code lets you change the destination URL after printing.
The YouTube QR code template supports any valid YouTube URL, including individual videos, playlists, live streams, Shorts, and channel pages. Content creators place these QR codes on flyers, posters, business cards, and product packaging to send scanners straight to specific video content. With QR Code AI, a dynamic QR code lets you update the destination URL after printing, which helps you rotate promotions without reprinting.
QR Code AI includes the YouTube logo template on the free plan, with unlimited static QR code generation and basic customisation for colours, pixel styles, and marker shapes. Free-plan users can download in PNG and SVG at full resolution. Premium plans unlock dynamic QR codes with editable URLs, scan analytics with geographic and device data, advanced visual effects, and WebP export.
QR Code AI exports YouTube QR codes in three formats: PNG for digital sharing on social media and websites, SVG for print materials like posters and business cards that need lossless scaling, and WebP for optimised web embedding. SVG is vector-based and stays sharp at any print size, from 2 cm stickers to large-format banners. All three formats are available on both the free and premium plans.
