Does the audio play automatically when someone scans it?

No — FreeQR's hosted audio page never autoplays. The visitor presses play themselves, using standard accessible browser controls.

What audio formats can I upload?

MP3, WAV or OGG, up to 15 MB — enough for a typical short guide, instruction or clip. For full albums or long episodes, link out to your existing platform instead.

Can I replace the recording later?

Yes, with a Dynamic Audio QR — upload a new file or paste a new link, and the same printed QR code keeps working.

How it works

Already have your audio on a platform like Spotify or SoundCloud? Paste the link for a free QR code — scanning it opens that page directly. Have your own recording instead? Sign in and upload it (MP3, WAV or OGG, up to 15 MB) — FreeQR hosts it on a clean mobile page with a title, description and simple play button, no app required.

Dynamic Audio QR codes can have their recording or link replaced later without reprinting — the same physical sticker or sign keeps working.

Where businesses and creators use it

Museum and gallery audio guides, tourism trails and guided walks, product instructions, language-learning materials, children's books, accessibility aids, memorials, equipment manuals, and artists sharing a track sample.

Static or dynamic?

A Static Audio QR encodes your link directly — free, no account needed, but fixed once printed. A Dynamic Audio QR (free for your first one) instead uses a permanent FreeQR link, so you can swap the recording or the platform link later without reprinting.

Pricing

Uploading your own audio is free on every plan — including the Free plan's first dynamic QR — within your account's storage allowance. This is different from PDF QR codes, where FreeQR hosting the file for you needs the Starter plan.
