Soundwave art you can scan and hear

deserve to last forever

Drop a recording or a video here, or
Upload audio (MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG) or video (MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV). We extract a video's sound on your device, so the video is never uploaded. Trim to the part you want; priced per 30 seconds.

The transformation
From sound → to a memory you can see.
Same emotion. A new form. The soundwave itself is what gets scanned — there is no QR code beside it — so the art stays whole and still plays the original recording.

Real voices. Real stories.
Some moments were never meant to disappear.
Six reasons people keep a voice — and the faces they were thinking of when they pressed record.
Always here
Someone who is no longer here
“Still with me, in a different way.”
First words
The first I love you
“A moment I’ll cherish forever.”
Family
A voice you never want to forget
“Her laugh still feels like home.”
A promise
Wedding vows
“The words that changed everything.”
Little joys
A laugh you know by heart
“That sound could light up any room.”
Tomorrow
A message for the future
“For the day you need to hear this.”
The Forever Promise
“Forever” is a promise. Here is what keeps it.
A voice that depends on a yearly fee plays only for as long as someone keeps paying. A memory should not depend on a subscription, or even on us. So we built TraceSound so it does not.
-
The Forever Fund
A share of our profits, set aside in a bank reserve that exists only to keep your recording online.
-
Nothing to renew
One payment. No subscription, no yearly fee, nothing that stops working when a card expires.
-
Your own copy
Download the audio and the artwork whenever you like. The voice is never ours to lose.
-
A plan, in writing
3 months' notice, your files sent back, and the collection handed on — should we ever stop.
Simple pricing
Pay once. Yours forever.
1 USD buys 1 credit, always — no packs, no bulk rate. Priced by length, not by the glyph: 3 credits per 30 seconds, 0% off. No subscription, no renewal fee, nothing that stops working if you stop paying.

Questions
Everything people ask us
How does a TraceSound glyph play a voice?
Every glyph is soundwave art whose shape also carries a private key. Point a phone camera at it on the TraceSound scan page, and the key unlocks the recording it was made from — it plays right in the browser.
How a glyph differs from a QR codeDo I need an app to scan it?
No. Scanning works in the web browser of any modern phone. There is nothing to install, and the person scanning does not need an account.
Scan a glyphIs there a subscription or yearly fee?
Never. You pay once to keep a glyph, priced by the length of the recording, and it plays for good. A share of our profits goes into the Forever Fund, a bank reserve that pays for keeping recordings online.
What happens if TraceSound shuts down?
Every owner gets at least 3 months' notice by email and a copy of each of their recordings, and the collection passes — with the Forever Fund — to a successor or an archive. You can also download your audio at any time.
Can I turn a voicemail from someone who has passed away into a glyph?
Yes — that is one of the most common reasons people come to us. Upload the voicemail or voice memo, and TraceSound keeps the real recording: their actual voice, never an AI imitation.
How to keep a loved one’s voiceCan I turn a voice note into a keepsake?
Yes. Upload a voice note from WhatsApp, iMessage or Voice Memos — or record one in the browser — and it becomes soundwave art that plays the real recording when scanned. Print it in a card, frame it for the grandparents, or give it as a gift.
Voice note keepsakesCan I get a soundwave tattoo that actually plays?
Yes. Keep your glyph, download the artwork and give it to your tattoo artist. Print it at the size you plan and test the scan first. Any phone can then scan the tattoo to hear the voice.
The soundwave tattoo guideCan TraceSound make a keepsake from my glyph?
Yes — that is what sets TraceSound apart. We keep the sound, draw the artwork and make the keepsake from the same glyph: UV-printed acrylic blocks and laser-engraved oak boards with your own words, previewed live, and made only with methods we have scan-tested.
See the soundwave keepsakesWho can hear my recording?
Anyone who scans one of its glyphs — so a framed print plays for every visitor. The key cannot be guessed, but it can be copied from the glyph, so only put one where you are happy for it to be heard.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Make a glyph from your own recording and scan it before you create an account or pay anything. An unpaid preview plays for 3 days.
Something else? Read our guides, or ask a real person.
