ScanBatch is a batch barcode and QR code tool for stock counts, receiving, retail labels and event check-in. Scan one code or hundreds, check them against your own spreadsheet, generate print-ready labels, and export everything to Excel, CSV or PDF. Single scanning is free; Pro unlocks batch work and export. — What's inside — · Sheet Check (NEW): import an Excel or CSV list — a stock sheet, packing list or guest list — pick the column to compare, and start scanning. Each code is matched instantly: green when it's found, yellow if it was already checked, red if it isn't on the list. Progress is saved after every scan, so you can pause and pick up where you left off. When you're done, export a copy of your sheet with scanned rows highlighted or ticked, plus optional "Not in list" and "Unchecked" tabs. Importing and scanning are free; exporting needs Pro. · Batch scanning: continuous scanning with automatic de-duplication and counting. Edit quantities inline, and let auto-sort rules route codes into batches by prefix, suffix or keyword. · Multiple codes in one frame: aim at a sheet of labels and tap the one you need — handy for case packs and pallet tags. · Photo scanning: pick a photo from your library when the code is far away or already captured. · 21 formats: QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, Code 128/39/93, Codabar, ITF, ITF-14, ITF-16, GS1-128, ISBN, EAN-5/2, Telepen, RM4SCC and POSTNET. · Generate from spreadsheets: map columns from Excel or CSV and create hundreds of codes on print-ready label sheets. · QR styling: colors, logos, dot styles and eye shapes, with 21 templates to start from. · Export anywhere: scan history to Excel, CSV or PDF; generated codes as a PNG ZIP or PDF labels, or share to any app. · Made for big screens: side-by-side layouts on iPad and iPhone Duo — scan on one side while the checklist updates on the other. · Private and offline: everything stays on your device.
