A QR code that opens your playlist. Scan, tap, music.
Grab the share link of any playlist, song, album or podcast, paste it above, print the code. Any phone camera opens it straight in Spotify. Party walls, wedding dance floors, café counters, gym noticeboards: the aux cord becomes a poster.
Try it now: point your phone camera at the preview.
This code is pure data. It carries your content directly instead of a link through our servers, so it can't expire and we couldn't turn it off if we wanted to.
It cannot expire
Static codes are pure data. There is no timer, no scan limit and no trial, so there is nothing that can run out.
It never touches our servers
The code is generated in your browser. We never see your content, so we have nothing to hold hostage.

How to get your Spotify link (30 seconds)
In Spotify, open the playlist, tap the three dots, then Share, then Copy link. On desktop, right-click the playlist name and choose Share. The link looks like open.spotify.com/playlist/… and that is exactly what goes in the box above. The same works for a single song, an album, an artist page or a podcast episode.
Scanning with the phone camera opens the link, and the phone hands it to the Spotify app when it is installed, or to the browser preview when it is not. Listeners without Spotify still see the playlist and can play previews, so the code degrades gracefully instead of failing.
Where playlist codes actually get used
Weddings print a 'tonight's soundtrack' code on the bar menu, and a smart variant: a collaborative playlist code, so guests add songs instead of shouting requests at the DJ. Cafés and shops frame the 'what's playing here' playlist by the counter. Gyms post class playlists on the noticeboard. Bands put the new album's code on gig posters and merch tables. Airbnb hosts add a 'sounds of the city' playlist next to the WiFi code in the welcome book.
Questions, answered plainly
- Does this work with the regular phone camera, or do people need to scan inside Spotify?
- The regular camera. The code contains a normal web link, so any iPhone or Android camera opens it, then the phone passes it to the Spotify app if installed. Nobody has to find the scanner hidden in Spotify's search screen.
- Is this the same as a Spotify Code, the wavy soundwave thing?
- No, and that is the point. Spotify Codes can only be scanned from inside the Spotify app. This is a standard QR code any camera reads, which is what you want on a poster where strangers scan first and think later.
- Do listeners need Spotify Premium?
- No. Free Spotify accounts open the playlist normally (with shuffle and ads, as usual for free tiers). People without any account see the playlist page and can sign up or play previews.
- If I add songs to the playlist later, does the printed code stay current?
- Yes. The code points at the playlist, not at a snapshot of it. Edit the playlist freely; every scan shows the current version. The code only breaks if you delete the playlist or make it private.
- Will the code expire or start showing ads?
- Never. The Spotify link is encoded directly in the image, nothing routes through our servers, and there is no trial or scan limit. Our whole site runs on that promise.
