How it works

Create an audio QR code in three steps

  1. Upload your audio

    Add an MP3 or other audio file and give it a title and a cover image.

  2. Brand and print

    Add your logo, colours and a frame, then download a print-ready code.

  3. Update and track

    Swap the file after printing and follow scans, locations and devices in your dashboard.

Audio QR code FAQ

Can listeners play the audio without downloading it?

Yes. The track streams in a browser player, and a download button is optional if you also want to offer the file.

Can I change the audio after printing the code?

Yes. The code points to a hosted page, so a new upload replaces the track everywhere the code is printed.

What audio formats can I use?

Common formats like MP3 work in the player, and the file plays in any phone browser without an app.

Can I add a title and cover image?

Yes. Each page shows a title and a cover image alongside your logo and colours.

Can I track how many people listen?

Aggregate reporting shows scan totals over time, country and device, with CSV export.

A practical setup

  • Upload a clear audio file and give it a descriptive title.
  • Decide whether downloading should be available.
  • Provide a short text summary for people who cannot listen immediately.

Questions to answer before publishing

  • Will the information change? This dynamic type can be updated, but someone still needs to own the destination and review it.
  • What should the printed instruction say? Describe the result of scanning in a few words rather than using “Scan me”.
  • Does each placement need separate reporting? Create a different QR record for every placement that must be compared.
  • Has the final proof been tested? Check the real size, surface, lighting and mobile destination with more than one phone.
