What it is

What is a video QR code?

A video QR code opens a landing page that shows your video. Some videos play on the page. Others open in their source app.

A landing page, not the file

The QR opens a hosted page on freeqr.com. The page plays the video or links out to it. The QR never opens a raw video file.

Embedded for YouTube and Vimeo

Paste a YouTube or Vimeo URL and the player loads on the landing page. Scanners watch without leaving.

Redirect for everything else

TikTok, Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, hosted .mp4. Scanners land on the page, then tap through to the source.

Dynamic by default

Your code is a dynamic QR code. Swap the video URL later. The QR pattern stays the same.

Use cases

Where to use a video QR code

Print one QR code on anything you want scanners to play or open.

Product packaging

A setup tutorial on the box. Scanners watch instead of typing model numbers into YouTube.

Real estate flyers

A property walkthrough on the For Sale sign. Drive-by buyers see the inside before they call.

Restaurant menus

A chef intro or recipe story on table tents. Diners watch while the order cooks.

Conference signage

A speaker bio or product demo on booth banners. Visitors play it instead of queueing for the rep.

Training kits

A lab safety brief on the bench. New hires watch the right video for the right station.

Wedding invitations

A save-the-date message inside the envelope. Guests watch it without digging up an email link.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I update the video after the QR code is printed?
Yes. The QR pattern is permanent. The video URL is not. Edit the link in your FreeQR dashboard and the next scan opens the new video.
Is the video QR code really free?
Yes. The free plan includes dynamic video QR codes, basic scan analytics, and unlimited scans. No credit card. Landing pages on the free plan show ads; paid removes them.
How do I make a QR code for a video in Google Drive?
Upload the video to Drive. Set the share link to "Anyone with the link can view." Paste that link into the Video QR template. Scanners open the Drive viewer.
Can you make a QR code for a TikTok video?
Yes. Paste the TikTok URL. The QR redirects scanners to the video in the TikTok app or browser. TikTok does not embed, so it does not play on the landing page.
Does it work for videos saved on my iPhone or camera roll?
A QR code links to a URL, not a file on your phone. Upload the video to YouTube, Vimeo, or Google Drive first. Then paste the link in the dashboard.
