# Social hub QR codes — one code, all your profiles

> A social hub QR code points at one page that lists all your profiles, so a single printed code covers Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the rest. UseQR builds the hub page from the links themselves, so nothing is stored on our servers and there is no account to lose.

## Why a hub instead of one code per network

A QR code holds one destination. Printing five codes on a poster is ugly and nobody
scans the right one. The standard answer is a single code pointing at a page that lists
every profile.

The cost is a dependency: something has to host that page. Link-in-bio services solve
this and then charge for it, or shut down and take every printed code with them.

## How UseQR's hub differs

The links are encoded **into the hub URL itself**, not stored in a database:

```
https://useqr.app/hub?l=https%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fyou,https%3A%2F%2Ftiktok.com%2F%40you
```

There is no record to delete, no account to expire, and no way for us to change where
your code points. The trade-off is a longer URL and therefore a denser code, and a hub
page you cannot restyle.

If you want full control, host the page yourself and point a plain
[URL QR code](/url-qr-code) at it — that is the most durable option, because you own
both ends.

## When a single-profile code is better

If one profile matters far more than the others — a TikTok account driving a campaign,
a WhatsApp line for orders — point directly at it. One tap beats two, and a direct
`instagram.com/you` link is a much shorter payload than a hub URL, so the printed code
is coarser and scans further away.

Use a hub when the surface is long-lived (a shopfront, a business card) and no single
profile dominates.

## Attribution without tracking

Add a `?utm_source=poster` to each destination link inside the hub. Your own analytics
then attribute the visit, and nothing about the scanner is stored by us — we have no
servers in the path at all once the page is loaded.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account for a multi-link QR code?
No. UseQR encodes the links into the hub URL itself, so there is nothing stored server-side and no account that can lapse.

### What happens if UseQR disappears?
The hub page would stop resolving, which is the honest downside of any hosted landing page. If permanence matters most, host the page on your own domain and point a plain URL QR code at it.

### Is a hub better than linking straight to one profile?
Not always. A direct profile link is a shorter payload, so the printed code is coarser and scans from further away, and it saves the user a tap. Use a hub only when no single profile dominates.

### Can I track which poster a scan came from?
Add UTM parameters to the destination links and read them in your own analytics. UseQR does not track anything.
