Christmas Card Voice Message QR Code

A Christmas card voice message QR code puts your own voice inside the card you post. You record the message here in the browser or upload a recording, print the small code inside the card, and the person points their phone camera at it on Christmas morning. Your voice plays in the browser, no app and no account on their side. It works for the grandparents who live abroad, for the friend you only write to once a year, and for the child who wants to sing the carol herself.

Put a Christmas message inside a card in three steps

  1. 01

    Press Record on this page and say the message, or upload an MP3 or M4A you recorded on your phone. Keep it short: a card is a greeting, not a speech.

  2. 02

    Create a free account and save the audio code. For $4.99 paid once, make it permanent: the small qrforprint line disappears, you can write a title such as Merry Christmas from Oslo above the player, and the code never goes inactive.

  3. 03

    Download the code and print it inside the card or on the gift tag. Keep it at least 2 cm wide with a clear margin, and scan the printed card with your own phone before you post it.

Where people use it

Family abroad

Grandparents in another country record the greeting in their own language. The card arrives before Christmas and the voice plays on the day, as many times as the children want.

Children's cards

A child who cannot write yet can sing a carol or say Merry Christmas. Record it, print the code on the card the child decorated, and the recording stays with the card.

Advent calendar

Twenty four small cards, one code each, one short message a day. Or one permanent code that holds up to ten recordings, opened one after another.

What the person hears when they scan

Scanning opens a plain page with a player and your recording. On a permanent code your title and a written message appear above the player. The page has no ads, sets no cookies and shows nothing from other people.

One message or the whole family

A free code plays one recording. A permanent code holds up to ten recordings behind the same code, each with its own name, so everyone at the table can say a few words and the person hears them one after another.

Post early, record late

On a permanent code you can replace the recording after the card is printed. Print the cards in November, record the message in December, and the printed code plays the newest recording.

How long the recording stays online

A free code holds one file up to 5 MB, shows a small Made with qrforprint line under the player, and stays active as long as it is scanned at least once every 12 months. A permanent code, $4.99 paid once, has no inactivity rule and no recurring fee, holds files up to 20 MB, and lets you replace the recording later without reprinting. Keep your own copy of the recording as well.

Frequently asked questions

Does the person need an app or an account to listen?+

No. The phone camera reads the code, the page opens in the browser and the built in player plays the message. Only you, the person who makes the code, need a free account.

Can I record here, or do I need a file?+

Both work. Press Record on this page and the browser records you and saves the result as MP3. Or upload an MP3 or M4A from your phone.

How long can the message be?+

The limit is by file size, not by minutes. A free code holds a file up to 5 MB, about ten minutes of speech. A permanent code holds up to 20 MB per recording.

Can several people record on one card?+

Yes, on a permanent code. It holds up to ten recordings behind one code, each with its own name. Or make one free code per person and print the codes next to the names.

Can I change the message after the cards are printed?+

On a permanent code, yes. You replace the recording from your account and the printed code stays the same.

What does it cost?+

Free to start, with the free limits above. $4.99 paid once makes one code permanent, and the 5 code pack is $22.99 paid once. No subscription, nothing to renew.
