## What is QR Handler?

QR Handler is the QR code generator and scanner that never acts behind your back: make any code in seconds, and see a code's full contents before anything opens.

CREATE ANY QR CODE
• Links, plain text and WiFi networks in two taps
• Contact cards (vCard) that save straight into a phone's contacts
• Email, phone number and SMS codes that open the right app prefilled
• One-tap templates for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, WhatsApp, Telegram and 5 more
• Six color presets that stay scannable
• Save to Photos or share anywhere

SEE BEFORE YOU OPEN
• Every scan shows its full contents first — the actual link, the actual network, the actual contact
• Unsafe link types are blocked outright
• WiFi passwords copy with one tap; contacts and events save only when you say so

SCAN EVERYTHING
• QR codes: links, WiFi, contact cards, calendar events, email, phone, SMS, locations, text
• Product barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 39/93/128, Aztec, Data Matrix, PDF417, Codabar
• Flashlight and 1×/2×/3× zoom for dim rooms and far-away posters
• Scan from a photo or screenshot in your gallery, or paste a link to decode it

HISTORY THAT HELPS
• Every scan and creation in a searchable history
• Name any code with a label; star the ones you reuse
• Re-display any saved code as a QR to share it
• Export a backup file whenever you like

PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
• No account, no sign-up, no cloud — there is no server
• History, favorites and settings never leave your device
• Works completely offline

IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

QR Handler is free, supported by a small banner ad and an occasional interstitial that only ever appears after you already have your result — never in the middle of a scan.
