SoundCloud QR Code Generator

SoundCloud is where DJs post mixes, producers drop demos and podcasters host episodes, and a printed QR code is how a flyer at a club night or a sticker on a controller becomes a new follower. Type your SoundCloud username to link your profile, or paste a link to a specific track, set (playlist) or on.soundcloud.com short link. QRPebble checks the address, rewrites mobile m.soundcloud.com links to the standard domain and strips share-tracking parameters to keep the code simple. A profile link is the durable choice, because it survives as you upload new mixes. A track link suits a flyer promoting one release. Private tracks with secret links work too, as long as you paste the full secret link.

Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.

How to make it

  1. Copy your profile URL, or a track or playlist link from SoundCloud's Share menu.
  2. Paste the link, or just type your username, into the SoundCloud field.
  3. Check the preview shows the soundcloud.com address you expect.
  4. Download it and scan with and without the SoundCloud app installed.

What gets encoded

The payload is a soundcloud.com URL: https://soundcloud.com/<username> for a profile, https://soundcloud.com/<username>/<track> for a track, /sets/<name> for a playlist, or an https://on.soundcloud.com/<id> short link. With the SoundCloud app installed, phones usually open it in the app; otherwise it plays in the mobile browser. Profile URLs use lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. If you change your profile URL in SoundCloud settings, older links stop working, so use a dynamic code for long-lived print.

Where people use it

  • Club night and festival flyers for DJs
  • Stickers on controllers, laptops and merch
  • Demo submissions and press kits
  • Podcast promotion on posters and cards

Tips before you print

  • Link your profile on long-lived merch; link a track on a flyer for a single release.
  • In dark venues, print the code larger (at least 3 cm) on a white patch so phones can focus.
  • For private tracks, paste the complete secret link, including the token part of the URL.

FAQ

Can I link a private track?

Yes, paste its full secret share link. Anyone with the code can then listen.

Profile or track link?

Profiles survive new uploads; tracks suit a single promotion. Use a dynamic code if you'll rotate tracks.

Do listeners need a SoundCloud account?

No. Tracks play in the browser or app without signing in, though SoundCloud may prompt to log in.
