Can't read the small print? Point your iPhone at it and Magnifier makes it big, bright, and easy to see โ instantly. Magnifier turns your camera into a powerful magnifying glass built for real eyes and real moments: the tiny ingredient list, the pill bottle, the restaurant menu in dim light, the fine print on a contract. Zoom in up to 10ร, steady the shot, and see every letter clearly. And when your eyes are tired, Magnifier can read the words out loud. WHAT YOU GET - Zoom in up to 10ร on any small text or detail with a crisp, high-resolution view - Turn on the light to brighten dark labels, menus, and packaging in a tap - Low-vision filters โ invert, high-contrast, grayscale and warm tint โ make faint text pop - Freeze the frame, then pinch to inspect calmly with no shaky hands or blur - Read Mode captures a label or menu and reads the text aloud, hands-free - Save any snapshot to your Library and pull it back up whenever you need it PERFECT FOR - Anyone with low vision, presbyopia, or tired eyes - Seniors reading medicine labels, bills, and letters - Diners squinting at menus in dim restaurants - Hobbyists inspecting fine detail, stamps, coins, and stitching WHY NOT JUST USE THE CAMERA APP? The camera zoom gets grainy fast, offers no contrast filters, can't freeze and hold a frame, and never reads text aloud. Magnifier is tuned for reading โ steady, bright, high-contrast, and voiced when you need it. PRIVACY Everything happens on your device. Text recognition and filters run locally with Core Image and Vision โ nothing is uploaded, no account, no ads, no tracking. FULL ACCESS Magnifier is free to try.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Magnifier at none against QR Scanner's 1. Magnifier also leads on ads (none vs shown). QR Scanner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
