Playlist QR code for audio tracks and video galleries
Several tracks or videos on one page, each with its own player.
A playlist QR code opens a page with several audio tracks in order, each with its own player, or a gallery of YouTube and Vimeo videos that load only when someone presses play. It suits audio tours, albums, lessons and how-to series. Start from the Audio playlist or Video gallery template and print the code.
Starting the walk? Scan the sign
A visitor scans the sign at the market square and plays stop one with headphones on.

Fixed or editable for a playlist?
-
Fixed QR code (static)
A fixed code can point to one playlist link, but it can never change after printing.
-
Editable QR code (dynamic)
We recommend editable: the page lives with us, you change the tracks and videos any time and the printed code stays the same. Try it 14 days free, then plans from $9 a month.

Questions and answers
Before you print
- Is it free?
- Fixed codes are free: make as many as you like, download a PNG with no sign-up, and get every other format and print files with a free account. Editable codes come with a plan, a pass, Keep-alive or the 14-day trial.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Yes, with an editable code. It holds a short link you control, so you can point the printed code somewhere new any time, and the next scan opens the new page. A fixed code keeps the link it was made with.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. A custom domain is included on passes, from Starter, and during the trial. Starter covers one subdomain, for example go.yourbrand.com, and apex domains start on Pro.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Editable codes work to the end of your paid period, and after a failed payment every code keeps working for 14 days. Turn codes back on within 12 months. Fixed codes keep working as long as their links do.
How does a playlist QR code work?
People scan the code and the page opens with each track or video and its own player.
Can I upload my own audio files?
Yes. Upload MP3 files in the app, or link to audio that is already online.
Which video sites work?
YouTube and Vimeo play on the page behind a press-to-play poster.
Do the videos load straight away?
No. Each video loads only after a press, so the page opens fast on mobile data.
Can I change the order later?
Yes, with an editable code. Move the blocks in the app and the printed sign stays the same.
Is it good for an audio tour?
Yes. Name each track after its stop and put one code at the start of the route.
Can I mix audio and video?
Yes. Add audio and video blocks to the same page, for example a song and its music video.
How many tracks can one page hold?
Enough for an album or a long tour. Keep each track short so people on mobile data start quickly.
