How it works

Three steps. Then it plays.

  1. The New live print screen: a photo, wedding-print.jpg, added beside the video it should play, uploading.

    Upload.

    Upload your design, or snap a photo of a print you already have. Add the video you want it to play.

  2. Your live print is ready: its QR code, its link, and the photo and video it links.

    Connect.

    Ember22 links the two and gives you a QR code and a link. Print the QR code on the design, on a sticker for the back, or on a card that goes with it.

  3. A printed photo with its QR code, and a phone pointed at it playing the video on the print.

    Play.

    Your customer scans the code, points their camera at the photo, and the video plays right on top of it.

Make it once, print it a thousand times. One experience works on every copy of the same design.

Use cases

FAQ

Do my customers need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code with their phone camera and it opens in their browser. Works on iPhone and Android.

How does it know which video to play?

Each print is matched to its own video. The camera recognizes the image, and the video plays right on top of it.

What kind of images work best?

Colorful, detailed photos and designs. Plain, single-color, very dark or perfectly symmetric images can't be recognized, because the camera needs details to lock onto.

What can I print it on?

Anything printed: magnets, photos, cards, invitations, menus, posters, packaging, even vehicles. Size doesn't matter, from 2 inches to 50 feet.

How long can the video be?

Up to 40 seconds.

Can I change the video later?

Yes, anytime and free. The QR code and the print stay the same.

Do the videos expire?

No. Your paid experiences stay live as long as your account is open, even if you cancel your subscription.

Can I sell live prints to my own customers?

Yes. Ember22 is built for businesses. You set your own price.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 14 days free, with 5 credits to make 5 live prints. No credit card required.

One credit makes one live print: one photo connected to its video. The free trial includes 5 credits.
