Usernames are public. Do not encode a private invite if the print will be widely copied, unless that is your intention.
How to use this tool
- Enter the username or link.
- Generate the code.
- Scan it on a phone.
Practical guidance
Usernames are public. Do not encode a private invite if the print will be widely copied, unless that is your intention.

Questions and answers
Should I include @?
You can. It is removed when the link is built.
Can this join a private group?
Only if you paste a full invite link you are allowed to share.
What if the username changes?
The printed code keeps the old name. Reprint it.
