Setting up your Kettle Pro
A 90-second video opens on the phone
A player page, not a pile of links
A video is far too big to store in a QR code, so the code opens a page we host with a player on it. You give it a title and a short description. People tap play and watch, without hunting through a channel for the right clip.
If you upload the file, it plays straight from our page. If you paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, the page shows that video's own player. Either way, you can switch to a new video later and the printed code keeps working.
Where a video beats a paragraph of text
Manuals and instructions
Show the tricky step instead of describing it. Assembly, cleaning and small repairs are easier to follow on video.
Real estate
Put a walk-through tour on the yard sign or the brochure, so buyers see inside before they book a viewing.
Weddings and memorials
A code on the program or a keepsake card opens a tribute video or the first dance.
Training and classrooms
Link a lesson to a worksheet or a poster on the wall, and update it when the course changes.
Make a video code
- 1
Add your video
Upload an MP4 or WebM file up to 200 MB, or paste a YouTube or Vimeo link. Add a title so people know what they are about to watch.
- 2
Design the code
Pick colors, a dot style and a frame with a call to action like "Scan to watch".
- 3
Download and check
Get PNG for screens or PDF and SVG for print. Scan a test print on mobile data, not just your office WiFi.

No account needed to design and preview.
Videos that people finish
More in the printing guide.
Keep it short
On a phone, under two minutes is a good target. Longer videos work better split into parts with one code each.
Think small screen
Large on-screen text, close shots and clear sound matter more on a phone than on a laptop.
Compress big files
A 1080p export at a sensible bitrate is usually well under 200 MB and starts faster on mobile data.
Add captions
Many people watch with the sound off in shops and on trains. Burned-in captions keep them watching.
Upload or link: which to choose
Upload the file when you want a quiet page with only your video on it: no suggested clips from other channels and no platform ads. Uploads must be MP4 or WebM and up to 200 MB.
Link YouTube or Vimeo when the video is long, already lives there, or you want the views counted on your channel. The page then shows that platform's player, so its own rules and ads apply.
One plan, every feature
Dynamic codes, scan stats, your logo and frames, hosted pages and every file format are in every plan. Plans renew until you cancel.

Questions
Still stuck?
Read the help center or email [email protected].
What video files can I upload?
MP4 and WebM files up to 200 MB. Most phones and editing apps export MP4 by default.
Can I use a YouTube or Vimeo video instead?
Yes. Paste the link and the page shows that video's player. QR Code Creator is not affiliated with YouTube or Vimeo. We show the public video you link to.
Can I change the video after printing?
Yes. Upload a new file or paste a new link in your dashboard. The printed code plays the new video from the next scan.
Does it play on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The page opens in the phone's browser and uses its built-in video player. No app is needed.
Can I see who watched it?
You see scans, not named viewers: how many, when, from which country and city, and on which kind of phone. We never store raw IP addresses.
