    A facile approach for the preparation of supramolecular polymer‐based fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) is reported. FNPs with homogeneous shape and size distribution are fabricated from low‐molecular‐weight molecules, and thus, different compositional constituents can be efficiently incorporated via copolymerization. The emission color of the FNPs covers a wide region from blue to near infrared and can be easily tuned using efficient excitation energy transfer. The photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles with high on–off fluorescence contrast are also simply prepared by copolymerization of monomers containing a fluorophore and a photochromic unit. Our FNPs are successfully applied in living cell imaging and as fluorescent inks. A new set of fluorescent nanoparticles (FNPs) are fabricated from hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular polymers. Their preparation is straightforward, and nanoparticles with homogeneous shape and size are obtained. The emission color of the FNPs covers a wide region from blue to near infrared and is easily tunable by excitation energy transfer. These FNPs are successfully used in bioimaging and as fluorescent inks.
