How a QR code birthday card works
You make it and print it. They only need their phone camera.
Make the card
Write your birthday wishes and add photos, a video or a voice note, with birthday music they can turn off.
Download its QR code
Once the card is unlocked, save its QR code as a PNG or an SVG, ready to print.
Put it with the gift
A gift tag, a cake card, the lid of a box: a QR code message that travels with the present.
They scan, it opens
Their camera opens the card. Set it to open on their birthday and, until then, the code shows a countdown.
Questions
- Does it play the happy birthday song?
- It plays cheerful birthday music, not the song itself, when they tap to open the card. To sing it yourself, add a voice note.
- Do they need an app to scan it?
- No. The phone's camera reads the code and the card opens in the browser, with no account.
- Can the QR code go on a card I post?
- Yes. A handwritten card we write and post can carry a QR code that opens your photos, video and voice note.
- Is it free?
- Making and previewing a card is free, and only you can see it. You pay once per card when you unlock it to send.
