What Telegram QR Generator can do
Two ways in: @username or phone number
A username becomes t.me/yourname. The leading @ is optional, and Telegram’s own rule applies: 5 to 32 characters, letters, digits, and underscores only, so a four-letter handle is rejected here. The page checks the form of the name, not whether the account exists: a typo that fits the rule still becomes a code for t.me/that-typo, so scan it once before you print. A phone number becomes t.me/+digits instead. Use it for an account with no public username, as long as its privacy settings let people find it by number.
Private channels need their invite link
A channel or group only lives at t.me/name once it has a public username. Private ones are reached through an invite link (it looks like t.me/+AbCdEf…). Paste that whole link into the plain QR generator and you get a working code. Remember that an invite link can be revoked in Telegram, and every printed copy dies with it.
What the optional message does and does not do
The text is appended as a ?text= parameter, URL-encoded. Whether Telegram drops it into the message box depends on the client and on what kind of account you linked, so treat it as a convenience for the person scanning, not as data you will reliably receive.

Questions
Can I paste my t.me link instead?
Yes. Paste t.me/yourname or https://t.me/yourname and the name is read from it. An invite link (t.me/+…) is not a name. Turn that one into a code on the plain QR generator page.
Why does it say my username is invalid?
Usernames you set in Telegram run 5 to 32 characters (letters, digits and underscores only), so a dot, a dash or a space usually means a typo. Check the spelling in Telegram and copy it exactly.
Can I style the QR code?
Yes. Continue on the desktop for colors, dot styles, a logo overlay, and saving to Files.
