## What is QR Barcode Scanner Reader?

Scan any QR code or barcode free, unlimited — from your camera or straight
from a photo. Create your own codes for Wi-Fi, contacts, URLs, and more.
100% offline, no account, no ads, no subscription.

WHY THIS APP

Most QR scanner apps push a monthly subscription just to scan. This app's
core scanning is free, unlimited, forever. Want more — Wi-Fi/contact code
creation, unlimited photo scanning, custom colors? A single $4.99
purchase unlocks it all, permanently.

FREE

• Unlimited live camera scanning — QR, Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417,
  EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128, and more (15+ formats)
• Scan from photos — 3 per day
• Create QR codes for URLs and plain text
• Smart actions: a Wi-Fi code connects with one tap, a URL opens in your
  browser, a contact card saves to your address book
• Recent 10 scans in history

PRO — $4.99, ONE-TIME

• Unlimited scan from photos
• Create QR codes for Wi-Fi, vCard contacts, email, phone, SMS, calendar
  events, and locations
• Custom QR colors and a center logo
• Unlimited history and favorites

Not a subscription — pay once, nothing auto-renews, nothing to cancel.

SCAN FROM PHOTOS

Got a screenshot of a QR code? Pick it from your photo library and the
app identifies it automatically — useful for QR codes friends sent you,
saved Wi-Fi cards, or payment codes. Most scanner apps only work with a
live camera; this one also reads photos.

100% PRIVACY

• No account, no cloud, no tracking
• Every scan and every code you create is processed on this iPhone only
• Wi-Fi passwords go through Apple's own network framework — we never
  see them

REQUIREMENTS

• iOS 17.0 or later
• Camera access for live scanning
• Photo Library access (optional, to scan from images)
• Local Network access (optional, for one-tap Wi-Fi connect)
