Your book is printed. Its content doesn’t have to be.
Give every chapter its own QR code. Add video lessons, fix dead links, and publish errata to copies already on the shelf — then watch, chapter by chapter, what readers actually open.

Illustrative figures. Every chapter code is a full dynamic QR — repointable, pausable, measurable.
Book → Chapter → Video
Generic QR tools give you a flat list of links. A book is not a flat list — so QRoute models it the way your editorial team already thinks about it.
The title itself
Name, author, ISBN, publisher, cover art, and the QR design every code in the book inherits. One buy-link code on the back cover, repointable when your retailer changes.
A code per chapter or page
Each chapter gets a labelled, typed QR code — video, PDF or worksheet, image gallery, or web link. A chapter is a real code, so it can be repointed, paused, and measured independently.
The resource behind the code
The lecture, the solution sheet, the diagram plates. Swap it mid-term without touching the print file, and the previous destination stays in the code's history.
What a chapter code can point at
Video
YouTube, Vimeo, or a hosted file — the lecture behind the chapter.
PDF / worksheet
Notes, practice sheets, solution keys, errata for the current print run.
Image gallery
Diagrams, colour plates, and photographs the paper edition could not carry.
Web link
A quiz, a live dataset, a forum thread — anything else on the web.
Live in 4 steps
Nothing to install, nothing for your print vendor to learn. The files they receive are ordinary SVG, PNG, and PDF.
Create the book
Add title, author, ISBN, publisher, and cover. Pick the QR design and the domain the whole book will print with.
Add chapters or a page range
One chapter at a time, or a whole range in one pass. Choose what each code points at: video, PDF, gallery, or link.
Export for print
SVG and PNG per code, or the full set as a print-ready PDF grid. Send it to your typesetter and go to press.
Update and measure forever
Watch chapter-level scans come in. Replace a broken video link in ten seconds — no new edition, no reprint, no sticker.
Built for publishers, not for posters
A print run lasts years. Every feature here exists because something in the book had to change after it was already on paper.
Add video lessons to printed pages
Point a chapter code at a YouTube lecture, a Vimeo walkthrough, or a hosted file. The book stays the same; the lesson behind it can be recorded next week.
Update content after printing
A dead link in a textbook used to mean a new edition. Change the destination in your dashboard and every copy already on a shelf points somewhere new.
Chapter-wise QR tracking
Every chapter is its own code with its own numbers. See which chapters get revisited before exams and which supplementary videos nobody opens.
Multi-language content
Route one slug differently per verified domain. The Hindi edition and the English edition can carry the same printed code and open different lessons.
Student engagement analytics
Device, OS, city and country breakdowns per chapter, plus a live scan feed — evidence of how the book is actually used, not how you hoped it would be.
Bulk codes for a page range
Set a start page, an end page, and a label prefix. QRoute generates a code per page in one pass instead of eight hundred manual entries.
Print-ready exports
PNG and SVG for InDesign placement, or a full chapter set as a PDF grid your typesetter can drop straight into the layout.
Your own domain on the page
Print read.yourpress.in instead of a generic short link. One DNS record, verified in minutes, and the imprint looks like yours.
The reprint you no longer have to schedule
A video link dies two years into a five-year print run.
Repoint the chapter code. Every copy in every classroom follows.
Errata mean a sticker, an insert, or an apologetic new edition.
The chapter code opens the corrected worksheet from today onward.
You have no idea which chapters students actually use.
Chapter-level scan counts, cities, and devices, updated live.
Hindi and English editions need two separate sets of codes.
One slug, routed per domain. Print both editions from one project.
What the student sees
A phone camera and the page in front of them. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
Scan the chapter code
The camera app opens the resource directly in the browser — no app, no account.
Watch the lesson
The recorded lecture for that exact chapter, not a channel homepage they have to search.
Open the worksheet
Solution keys, practice sets, and errata that were written after the book went to press.
In their language
The Hindi edition's code opens the Hindi lecture. Same printed slug, different domain.
What your team gets
A control surface over a book that has already left the building.
Bulk chapter generation
A code per page across a range, created in one pass and exported as a PDF grid.
Destination history
Every repoint is recorded, so you can see what a chapter code used to open and when it changed.
Chapter-level analytics
Scans by chapter, device, city, and country, plus a live feed of who is scanning right now.
Safe destinations
Destinations are validated and tenant-isolated, and a decode test runs before you export for print.
What publishers and authors say
“We print a Class 10 science title in runs of 40,000. Two chapters had YouTube links that went dead last year — previously that was a reprint conversation. Now it is a two-minute edit, and I can see exactly which chapters students scan before board exams.”

“I generated a QR per page for a 320-page workbook in one pass and exported the whole grid as a PDF for my designer. Readers get the worked solution video for the exact page they are stuck on, and I add new videos to a book that went to press a year ago.”

Common questions
- Can I change what a QR code in a printed book points to?
- Yes — that is the whole point of a dynamic QR code. The code printed on the page encodes a short URL that never changes. You edit the destination in your dashboard and the next reader who scans lands on the new video, PDF, or page. Copies already sold keep working.
- How does the Book → Chapter → Video hierarchy work?
- You create a book as a project with its title, author, ISBN, publisher, and cover. Inside that book, each chapter or page gets its own QR code, labelled and typed — video, PDF or worksheet, image gallery, or a plain web link. Every chapter code is a full dynamic QR code, so it can be repointed, paused, and measured on its own.
- Can I generate QR codes for a whole page range at once?
- Yes. Instead of adding chapters one by one, switch the chapter form to range mode, set a start and end page and a label prefix such as "Pg", and QRoute creates a code per page in one pass. You can then export the whole set as a print-ready PDF grid for your typesetter.
- Can the same QR code show Hindi content to one reader and English to another?
- Yes. Verify both domains — say hindi.yourpress.in and read.yourpress.in — and route the same code differently per domain. Print the Hindi edition with one domain and the English edition with the other, and one slug serves both without maintaining two sets of codes.
- What analytics do I get per chapter?
- Scan counts per chapter code, plus device, OS, country, and city breakdowns, and a live feed of recent scans. Because a chapter is an ordinary QR code, it gets the same analytics as every other code — so you can see which chapters students actually revisit and which video lessons never get opened.
- Do students or readers need an app to scan?
- No. Any modern phone camera opens the link directly in the browser. There is no app to install, no account to create, and no login screen between the page and the lesson.
- What happens to my printed books if I stop paying?
- Codes are never destroyed by a downgrade. Static codes you exported keep resolving forever because the destination is encoded in the image itself, and dynamic codes stay resolvable — you lose the ability to edit destinations and see new analytics, not the printed book.
- Can my print vendor use the files directly?
- Yes. Export any code as PNG or SVG for placement in InDesign, or export a full chapter set as a print-ready PDF grid. Codes render with a quiet zone and a contrast check so they still decode after being printed small on uncoated paper.
