Telegram QR Generator

What address does the tool produce?

https://t.me/ followed by your text. The username mychannel, with or without a leading @, gives https://t.me/mychannel. The tool does not distinguish between a person, a bot, a channel or a group, because all of them are written the same way.

Does the Link type menu change the result?

No. Personal username / bot and Public channel or group give identical output for the same text. The menu is only a label at the moment, so what you type in the second field decides everything. Do not rely on it to alter the link.

Can I paste a full t.me link?

Yes. Text beginning with http:// or https:// is encoded exactly as typed, so https://t.me/+AbCdEf123 stays as it is. Text that starts with a domain and a slash, such as t.me/mychannel, gets https:// added and becomes https://t.me/mychannel instead of a doubled address.

Does it validate the username?

No. It trims spaces, removes one leading @ and appends the rest, whatever it contains. Nothing checks the length, the allowed characters, or whether the account exists. A typo gives a code that scans correctly and then lands on a page saying the username is not in use, or on someone else’s account.

Does it support links that open a bot with a start parameter?

Not through the username field alone, but you can paste the whole link. If you type https://t.me/mybot?start=promo2026 the tool leaves it untouched. The tool has no separate fields for parameters.

Are special characters encoded?

No. Characters after t.me/ are appended as typed. Telegram usernames normally contain only letters, digits and underscores, so this rarely matters, but a pasted link with spaces or other symbols is not cleaned up.

Why not use a phone-number link?

This tool builds addresses from usernames and pasted links only. It has no field for phone numbers, so a contact with no public username cannot be encoded with a username, though a link to such a contact can be pasted in if Telegram has given you one.
