IRCODE (Image Retrieval Code) is an innovative new platform that scans real-life objects such as art, photographs, billboards, and posters, and turns them into interactive digital artifacts on your smartphone. Now, you can identify whatever’s in front of you and find out more about it.
Think of IRCODE as the new and improved QR Code. Except with IRCODE, you can scan, register, and embed information in the images themselves instead of using those funny-looking squares. You can transform just about any creation into an interactive digital experience, bridging the physical and digital worlds with QR Code-like functionality in real time!
You can register any image as an IRCODE. Whether you’re an artist who wants to extend meaning beyond the canvas, a photographer who is curious how many people see their photos, a marketer who wants to add digital messaging to a physical ad, or an individual who wants to attach digital details to a paper invitation – there are countless use cases for IRCODE, limited only by your ideas.
Anything from website links and video content to interactive experiences can be embedded in your images.
Anyone with a free Basic account can register up to 100 images, while paid Pro accounts can register up to 1,000. We’re also launching enterprise plans soon, which will provide solutions for those who need even more.
Your IRCODE is valid forever once it’s registered. Pro accounts include detailed analytics, and many cool features including privacy, account verification, and added security. Basic users can access some of these features for an additional fee of $10 per year for each image.
The Pro Plan for IRCODE includes access to full analytics for each registered image, providing insights into your reach and individual interactions with the image.
If your work has been registered and is owned by someone else, you can reach out to the IRCODE team to appeal. Our goal is always to ensure that every image registered is associated with its rightful copyright holder.
Absolutely! IRCODE is designed with user-friendliness in mind. It’s as simple as using the app to scan an image. Follow the prompts and you’re ready to go.
Anyone can use IRCODE, from individuals who are simply curious about images to those who are cataloging their entire collections. Anyone can register, scan, and explore images on IRCODE, and there are no special criteria to register a Basic account.
Our ideal scanning and registering experience is accessed through the IRCODE app, now available on iOS and coming soon to Android. You can also access IRCODE on any device through our website, which provides the ability to upload, explore and manage images, as well as your account and dashboard.
