Litecoin (LTC) QR Code Generator
Make a QR code for your Litecoin address, with an optional LTC amount that wallets fill in for the payer. The address checksum is verified in your browser before the code is drawn.
What a Litecoin QR code is
A Litecoin QR code is a static QR code that stores a Litecoin receiving address, optionally with an amount in the litecoin: payment format, so a wallet can scan it and fill in the payment details.
Paste a Litecoin address and you get a code any Litecoin wallet can scan. Add an amount and the code becomes a payment request in the litecoin: format, modelled on Bitcoin’s BIP-21: the payer’s wallet opens with your address and the amount already filled in, and they only have to confirm.
Every Litecoin address carries a checksum, and the generator verifies it before drawing anything — Base58Check for addresses starting with L, M, or 3, and bech32 for ltc1 addresses. One wrong or missing character fails the check, so a broken address never ends up on a printed sign. The check runs in your browser and the address is never uploaded.
How to create a Litecoin QR code
- 01
Get a receiving address
In your wallet, open Litecoin and tap Receive. On an exchange, open Deposit, choose LTC, and make sure the network says Litecoin — not a wrapped LTC token on BNB Smart Chain or another chain.
- 02
Paste it into the generator
Paste the address above. If the checksum fails, copy it again with the wallet’s copy button rather than retyping it.
- 03
Add an amount, if you want one
Enter an amount in LTC for a fixed price or invoice. Leave it empty for donations and tips, so the payer decides how much to send.
- 04
Download and test it
Download the PNG or SVG, scan it with a Litecoin wallet, and check that the address and amount it shows are right. You do not have to send anything to test.
Litecoin address types
ltc1… — native SegWit
The default in most current wallets. Lowercase, bech32-encoded, and the cheapest of the common types to send from. Its prefix makes it impossible to confuse with a Bitcoin address.
M… — SegWit-compatible (P2SH)
Wrapped SegWit and many multisig addresses start with M. They work with almost every wallet and exchange and are fine to put in a code.
L… — legacy
The original Litecoin format. It still works and every wallet can send to it, so there is no need to switch if it is what your wallet shows.
3… — old-style P2SH
Before M addresses existed, Litecoin P2SH addresses started with 3, exactly like Bitcoin’s. Some older wallets still show them. They are valid, but people mix them up with Bitcoin — if your wallet can give you an M or ltc1 address, use that instead.
Amounts in the code
With an amount, the code holds a link like litecoin:ADDRESS?amount=0.25. Amounts are in LTC, not in litoshis. Most Litecoin wallets fill it in, and the payer can still change it before sending.
Reusing one address
Litecoin transactions are public, so anyone with the address can see every payment it receives. A printed donation code is fine; for invoices, a fresh address from your wallet each time keeps your history more private.
Where a Litecoin QR code helps
- Invoices with the amount already set
- Donation buttons for blogs, podcasts, and open-source projects
- A sign at a shop counter that accepts LTC
- Tip jars at gigs and markets
- Stream overlays and video descriptions
- Moving LTC from a wallet to your exchange account
MWEB addresses (ltcmweb1…) are not accepted, because few wallets can pay them. Use your wallet’s regular L, M, or ltc1 address for the code.
This code receives on the Litecoin network only. Wrapped LTC on BNB Smart Chain or other chains uses a different address and is not made here.
Never put a private key or recovery phrase in a QR code. A receiving address is the only thing a payer needs.
Litecoin payments cannot be reversed. If a printed code is swapped for someone else’s, money sent to it is gone — place it where it cannot be covered, check it now and then, and print the address next to it so people can compare.
This site does not hold litecoin, connect to your wallet, or see payments. It makes the image and nothing else.
Questions about this
Copy the receiving address from your wallet, paste it above, optionally add an amount in LTC, and download the code. Scan it once with a wallet before sharing it.
Yes. Enter an amount and the code uses the litecoin: payment format, so the payer’s wallet opens with the amount filled in. They can still edit it before sending.
Whatever your wallet gives you by default — usually ltc1 or M. All of them can receive from almost any wallet; avoid old 3… addresses if you can, because they look like Bitcoin addresses.
Usually not: Bitcoin wallets reject L, M, and ltc1 addresses because the checksum or prefix does not match. Old 3… Litecoin addresses are the exception, since they share Bitcoin’s format — another reason to prefer M or ltc1.
If a character is wrong or missing, the checksum fails and the generator shows an error instead of a code. A valid address that is not yours cannot be detected, so compare it with your wallet.
No. Validation and drawing happen in your browser. The site uses Google Analytics to count visits and may show ads, but the address you type never leaves your device.
