A candle glowing in the dark

In memory

A photo that plays their voice

Their picture, and when you point a phone at it, their voice: a voicemail you saved, a toast, a story they always told. For a framed print by the bed, a photo book for the family, or the photos at the service.

Try it free with one of your own photos →Your first five Popcodes are free. No card needed.

How it works

You choose the photo and the recording. We print it, and the moment stays with the picture.

Choose the photo

One photo for a framed print or ornament, or many for a photo book of their life.

Add their voice or a video

Upload a video, or a voice recording such as a saved voicemail. Any photo can play one.

We print and ship it

It arrives with its own short address, like popcode.app/for-dad, printed on it.

Point a phone at it

Anyone in the family opens that address, points the camera at the photo, and hears them again.

Ways to keep them close

Each of these can play a video or voice. Prices are on each product’s page in the Shop.

Already have the photos? Add their voice to photos you already own → Your first five are free.

Ideas for remembering someone

  • At the service. Display the photos with the address on the program, so guests can point their phones and hear them.
  • A saved voicemail. That “Hi, it’s Mom, call me back” message can play from her photo.
  • Their favorite story, recorded at a family dinner, playing from a photo of them telling it.
  • For the grandchildren who were too young to remember: a book where every photo has a voice.
  • A pet you miss, with the video of them running to the door.

Questions

Can I use a saved voicemail or an old video?

Yes. Any audio recording or video clip you have can be linked to a photo. Voicemails can usually be saved from your phone as an audio file.

Does the person looking need an app?

No. They open the short popcode.app address printed on the piece in their phone’s web browser, allow the camera, and point it at the photo. It works on iPhone and Android, with nothing to download and no account to make.

Can we use it for the photos at a memorial service?

Yes. Print the photos however you like, add a Popcode to each one on popcode.app, and put the short address on the program or a small card beside the photos.

How long do the videos stay online?

Every Popcode comes with five years of hosting from the day you make it. Before that runs out, we email you so you can renew it or download your photos and videos. Nothing is switched off without a word from us first.

Can I change a video after it’s printed?

Yes. The print stays the same, but you can swap what any photo plays from your Popcode account at any time.

What does it cost?

You pay for the printed product; the videos linked to anything you buy from the Popcode Shop are free and unlimited. To add videos to photos you already have, your first five are free; see Pricing.

Do you ship in the US?

Yes. Popcode is a US company and ships to addresses across the United States.
