How it works

From finished piece to augmented reality art.

  1. 1

    Upload

    Upload the artwork as it is printed, and the video it should play, up to 40 seconds.

  2. 2

    Print

    Ember22 gives you a QR code and a link. Put the code on the back, on the label beside the piece, or in a corner.

  3. 3

    Play

    Viewers scan it, point their phone at the artwork, and the video plays on the print.

Ideas

Ways artists use it.

  • Animated editions

    Sell a print that moves, at a price you set.

  • Show the process

    A time-lapse of the piece being made, playing on the finished piece.

  • Shows and markets

    One QR on the label. No app means more people actually try it.

  • Postcards and merch

    Every copy of the design plays the same video.

  • Covers and zines

    An album or zine cover that plays the music video or the trailer.

Why it works for artists

  • No app

    It plays in the phone's browser, on iPhone and Android.

  • Edition-friendly

    One credit covers every copy of the same design.

  • Change it anytime

    Swap the video for free. Prints already sold play the new one.

  • See every scan

    Scans and unique viewers for every piece.

Questions

Do people need to download an app?

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

Does it need a QR code?

Yes. The QR code opens the page, then the camera recognizes the photo itself. Put the code on a sticker on the back, or in a corner of the front, so the design stays clean.

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.

Can I sell the prints?

Yes. You set your own price.

How much does it cost?

One credit makes one live print: one design connected to its video, however many copies you print, with unlimited views. See pricing.

Is there a free trial?

Yes: 14 days free with 5 credits, so you can make 5 live prints. No credit card required, and nothing is charged when the trial ends.
