How it works

How LivingTag works.

Create a digital page, connect it to something real, and update what people see anytime.

In plain terms

The simple version

A LivingTag is a digital page connected to a QR code or NFC tag. You can place it on clothing, cards, gifts, products, events, or memories. When someone scans or taps it, your page opens in their browser.

The mechanic

Same QR. Living page. Always current.

Same code

Same QR code — print once

Your control

Editable LivingTag page

No reprint

Updated content, same scan

Step by step

Five steps from page to scan.

The tag stays on the object. The page is what you keep up to date.

  1. Create your page

    Add photos, videos, links, messages, business info, memories, or creator content — whatever fits your story.

    Create your LivingTag page
  2. Connect it to a tag

    Your page links to a QR code or NFC tag that LivingTag provides or that you print yourself.

  3. Place it on something real

    Put the tag on clothing, cards, products, gifts, packaging, event badges, or memorial keepsakes — wherever people will notice it.

  4. People scan or tap

    They open your page in their phone browser. No app download required for visitors.

Scanning

QR and NFC, explained simply

QR codes are scanned with a camera. NFC tags open when someone taps with a compatible phone. Both can open a LivingTag page.

QR codes

Print a QR on stickers, cards, packaging, or signs. Most phones open the camera and follow the link automatically.

NFC tags

NFC is optional — common on business cards, apparel, and premium products. One tap, same page as a scan.

Your control

  • You can remove or pause content when you are ready.

  • You choose what to share — public, limited, or private depending on your settings.

Set who can open your page when someone scans — change it anytime from your account.

  • Public

    Anyone who scans can open this tag without signing in.

  • Only me
