A Spotify code is a machine-readable code in an image. It looks a lot like a QR code. You can't read this code, but the Spotify app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone can.
When a user scans this code with their phone, Spotify takes them to the item it was created for.
You can generate codes for songs, albums, artists, playlists, podcasts, and even your Spotify profile. Both free and premium users can generate such codes.
To generate a code on Spotify, use the Spotify app on your Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android device. You can also use the web version of Spotify if you prefer.
To start creating code for a Spotify asset, launch the Spotify app on your Windows or Mac.
