YouTube QR code questions
YouTube QR codes
Can I link a playlist?
Yes. Paste the playlist link.
Will it open the YouTube app?
On phones with the app, yes.
Using ScanMosaic
Is ScanMosaic really free?
Yes. Every code type, template, logo and color option is free, with PNG, JPG and WebP downloads, one dynamic code, three short links and one AI art image a day. Paid plans add more dynamic codes and links, full stats, print files (SVG, PDF, EPS, 4096 px), batch, teams and your own domain.
How do you know my code will scan?
After every change we read your code with a real QR decoder, the same way a phone camera does, and compare the result with what you entered. You'll see 'Verified' only when they match.
Is my data private?
Static codes are made in your browser, so your WiFi passwords and contact details never reach us. For dynamic codes we store the destination link and anonymous scan counts. For AI art, your description and link are sent to our AI provider to create the image.
