QRwise makes QR codes and scans them. Type a link, a Wi-Fi password or a contact card and the QR code appears as you type. MAKE A QR CODE • For a link, text, Wi-Fi network, contact card (vCard), SMS, email, phone number or social profile • Pick a ready-made design, or set the color, body shape and eye shape yourself • Add a frame with your own label, such as "SCAN ME" • Share the code as an image or as a story card • Place the code on a photo or the live camera view to preview it on a wall or a table (the free version adds a QRwise watermark) STATIC CODES, NO EXPIRY The content is written into the code itself. QRwise does not put a server or a redirect in between, so the code has no expiry date and needs no account. SCAN • Reads QR, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Data Matrix and PDF417 • Scan with the camera or from a photo in your library • Recognizes links, text, Wi-Fi, contact cards, email, phone numbers, SMS, locations and eSIM codes • Open links; copy or share any result • Links: QRwise shows the domain before opening and asks first when the address has a warning sign: a bare IP address, a punycode domain, many subdomains, a known link shortener, login details in the address or a non-web scheme. This is a heads-up, not a blocklist or antivirus check. • Scan history is stored on your device QRWISE PRO QRwise is free and shows ads. QRwise Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription that removes the ads and adds: • Your logo or an emoji in the center of the code • All designs, colors, shapes and frames • Transparent background • Poster layouts with a headline, such as Scan Me or Free Wi-Fi • High-resolution PNG export • Barcode generator: EAN-13, UPC-A and Code 128 • Bulk sheet: up to 30 codes on one page • Scan history of 1,000 items (50 in the free version) • Photo placement without the watermark SUBSCRIPTION QRwise Pro Monthly (1 month) and QRwise Pro (1 year) renew automatically at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. If a free trial is offered, its length is shown before you subscribe. PRIVACY • No account or sign-up • Scan history is kept on your device • Usage analytics record the type of code (for example "link" or "Wi-Fi"), not its content • Ads in the free version are served by Google AdMob Available in 17 languages.
