Why use a SoundCloud QR

A SoundCloud QR opens a track, album, or playlist instantly — ideal for merch, gigs, and venue playlists.
Playlist links are easier to update than single-track codes when you use a dynamic QR.
Pair the code with a short line like “Scan for the playlist.”

Steps

Copy track or profile share link. Example: https://soundcloud.com/artist/track-name
Open the Studio and paste the link into the URL field (or choose WiFi / vCard when relevant).
Optional: enable a dynamic QR code to edit the destination later and track scans.
Customize colors or add your logo, then download PNG or SVG. Check print size before a large run.

Best practices

Link a playlist for a fuller listening session.
Test mobile playback before printing a big batch.

Common mistakes

Using a private or region-locked link
Printing too small on dense merch art
Forgetting to test on phones without the app installed

FAQ

Do private tracks work?

Only if the share link allows access. Public tracks are safest for print.
