What does the Monvou QR code open?

A Monvou QR code opens a personal digital message in the browser. It can appear on a Monvou gift or on your own printed design. Compare six digital options and try four of them as live demos.

  • No app – opens in the browser
  • Create the message separately from purchase
  • Protect editing with a PIN if desired

Two ways

Create it yourself or together?

Both options open in the browser after scanning. The difference is who creates the content and which contributions are available.

01

Created by one person

Your own message

You set up the content yourself and choose, for example, text & image, an audio message or a video message.

  • Text & image
  • Audio message
  • Video message
02

Several people contribute

Group card

One card, many personal moments. Collect kind words, favourite photos, familiar voices and short video greetings – together in one place.

  • Up to 30 contributions
  • Contribute via the invitation link
  • Photo, voice or video greeting with personal words

Group cards explained simply

Who does what?

The roles are intentionally simple. Contributors do not need to be in the same place or pass a physical card around.

  1. 1
    Organiser

    Sets up the group card, shares the invitation link and keeps track of contributions and the deadline.

  2. 2
    Contributors

    Open the invitation link and add personal words with an optional photo, voice message or video.

  3. 3
    Recipient

    Later scans the QR code and experiences the completed group card in the browser.

What does personalised mean?

Three layers of a Monvou moment

01

The visible Monvou item

You choose a card, tag or slate product with a suitable material and design. Special design requests apply only when they are explicitly offered for that product or agreed separately.

02

The personal QR code

Every Monvou item and every purchased printable QR has its own code connecting it with its digital content.

03

The digital message

When setting up the code in Monvou, you choose the digital option and add your content. The recipient later opens the finished message.

What are Monvou credits used for?

Monvou credits are a balance assigned to a Monvou code for creating or changing digital content. The required credits are shown when editing in Monvou. Check the product description for the included balance. Additional credits top up an existing code; they are not a shop gift voucher or a new QR-code gift.

You can edit your message or replace its content while keeping the same QR code. Replacing content can permanently delete the previous content, so keep your own copies. Depending on the action, credits may be required; the amount is shown when creating your message in Monvou.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Does the recipient need an app?

No. The digital Monvou view opens directly in the smartphone browser after scanning.

When do I choose the digital option?

You do not need to prepare the message when buying. Scan the QR code after receiving the item to set it up. If direct design is offered at checkout, you can request a design link after purchase and prepare the message before delivery.

How many people can contribute to a group card?

Up to 30 contributions are possible. Contributors add personal words with an optional photo, voice message or video greeting using the invitation link. The separate video message is designed for one individual video.

Can people in different countries take part?

Yes. The invitation link can be shared regardless of location. Contributors only need a current browser and an internet connection.

Who can open the finished card?

People with the QR code or result link can open the view. An optional opening PIN can provide additional access protection.

Can I change the demo cards?

No. The public examples are protected by an unpublished editing PIN. They are provided only for viewing and testing.

How do a digital card and a video message differ?

A digital card combines text, a photo and optional voice audio. Use the separate video message for one personal video, or a group card to collect contributions from several people, including individual video greetings.

Can I contribute a video greeting to a group card?

Yes. Open the invitation link and add words, a photo, a voice message or a short video greeting. Each contribution can contain one photo, audio recording or video, with personal words alongside it. Your phone decides whether its file picker also offers recording a new video.

Can I change a group contribution later?

You can edit your own contribution, replace or remove its media, or delete the contribution using your contribution access. The organiser can hide contributions. The recipient opens “View video greeting” and starts playback themselves.

Can I use photos and recordings from my phone?

JPG, PNG and WebP photos are supported. With photo processing active, supported HEIC/HEIF and AVIF photos can also be prepared and saved as WebP. With media preparation active, supported M4A audio, iPhone MOV videos and WebM recordings can be prepared for browser playback. The editor shows the available formats and limits.

Do I need to convert my recordings myself?

You capture the moment. We take care of suitable playback. With media preparation active, supported video is prepared as MP4 and audio as MP3. Video orientation and supported HDR recordings are taken into account. File-size and duration limits still apply.

How large and how long can my files be?

These are the standard limits with media preparation active. The editor shows the limits that currently apply; device or hosting settings may be stricter.
