Scan QR codes and barcodes, recognize text from product photos, and view available ingredients, allergens, and nutrition facts in one simple app. QR Scanner · Barcode Reader opens directly to the scanner and is designed for quick everyday use. Links are never opened automatically, and your scan history is stored locally on your device. QR AND BARCODE SCANNING Point your camera at a QR code or barcode to read its contents. Supported formats include: • QR Code • EAN-8 and EAN-13 • UPC-A and UPC-E • Code 39, Code 93, and Code 128 • ITF • PDF417 • Data Matrix • Aztec • Codabar Scan website links, product packaging, tickets, Wi-Fi details, contact information, text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS content, locations, calendar events, and more. REVIEW LINKS BEFORE OPENING Scanned links are never opened automatically. You can review the destination first, then choose whether to open, copy, or share it. The app also checks links on-device for structural risk signals such as unusual formatting and look-alike characters. These checks are informational and do not guarantee that a website is safe. PRODUCT AND FOOD INFORMATION Scan a supported product barcode to search for available product information through the Open Facts databases. Depending on the available data, product results may include: • Product name and image • Brand and category • Weight or quantity • Ingredients • Allergens • Energy and calories • Fat and saturated fat • Carbohydrates and sugars • Fiber • Protein • Salt and sodium • Nutri-Score and NOVA group Information availability and accuracy depend on the relevant third-party database. Product lookup requires an internet connection, while ordinary QR and barcode scanning continues on the device. PRODUCT PHOTO AND TEXT RECOGNITION When a product does not have a readable barcode, take a photo of its packaging or select an existing image. The app first checks the image for a QR code or barcode. If no code is found, text recognition runs on your device and creates editable product search terms. Possible matching products are displayed for you to review. The app never selects a product automatically; you choose the correct match before viewing its available ingredients or nutrition information. If no matching product is found, you can edit the search terms, search the web, copy the recognized text, or share it. SCAN FROM YOUR PHOTOS Choose an existing image containing a QR code, barcode, product label, or ordinary text. This is useful for: • Screenshots • Saved tickets • Product packaging • Documents and labels • Posters • Digital menus • Images received in messaging apps CREATE QR CODES AND BARCODES Create codes for: • Websites • Text • Wi-Fi networks • Contacts • Phone numbers • Email addresses • SMS messages • Calendar events • Locations • Product and numeric values Created codes can be viewed, saved, shared, and stored in your local history. LOCAL HISTORY Keep scanned and created codes in an optional local history. Search previous results, revisit links, copy scanned content, and delete your history whenever you want. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No advertisements • No subscriptions • No in-app purchases • No account required • No developer analytics or tracking • No automatic link opening • Local scan history • Light, dark, and system themes Camera images and selected photos are processed on your device for code and text recognition. Photos are not uploaded by the app. When you perform an online product lookup, only the barcode or editable product search terms are sent directly to the relevant information service. QR Scanner · Barcode Reader brings QR scanning, barcode reading, product information, photo text recognition, code creation, and local history together in one straightforward app.
