Label Studio builds reusable QR label runs and checks every code against its intended payload in the finished PDF before export. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Labels. Name the run, choose Letter or A4, then create a numbered sequence or add custom captions and exact QR payloads. 2. Edit individual labels and copy counts. Save the run locally for reuse. Build the verified PDF. 3. Inspect the label sheet and share the PDF with its proof manifest. Print one test sheet at actual size and test it with the intended scanner. Create, styling, scan-and-verify, history, batch generation, print sizing, Preflight Lab and the reference kit remain available. Letter/A4 sheets use black vector modules and four-module quiet zones. Run storage preserves unreadable files and reports save failures. WHAT TO KNOW Eight labels per page with generic cut guides, not adhesive-stock templates. Up to 80 entries, 20 copies per entry and 160 labels per run. Payloads are limited to 512 UTF-8 bytes, and overly dense codes are refused. Verification decodes the final PDF at 144 DPI; it does not test physical prints or link destinations. PDFs and manifests include the entered payloads, including any passwords or contact details. iPhone and iPad.

■ The tools you reach for first. Apple's Camera opens a scanned QR link the instant you tap it — you never see where it really goes. QR Scanner shows you the FULL destination and runs an on-device phishing check BEFORE anything opens. See exactly where a code leads, decide for yourself, then open. No internet, no account, no ads, no tracking. Turn on airplane mode and it still works. That's the whole point. Scan, the safety check, and your history all happen on your device. No subscription, no ads. ------------------------------- ● See the link before you open it ------------------------------- • The result sheet shows the decoded destination in full — no instant redirect, no surprise. • Got a code in a screenshot or a saved picture? Scan it straight from your photos. The decoding runs on your device, and it works even when the camera isn't available. • An on-device phishing check flags the usual traps: not-https, a raw IP-address host, punycode and look-alike characters, the "real-looking name hides the true destination" trick, overly deep subdomains, link shorteners, and abused domain endings. • A clear verdict — green safe, amber caution, red danger — always with an icon and a label, never colour alone. • A dangerous link needs an explicit second confirmation before it can open. No accidental taps. ------------------------------- ● Make codes, keep your own history ------------------------------- • Offline QR code maker — turn typed text into a code, no connection needed. • Ready-made templates: Wi-Fi, a contact, an email or a phone number. Fill in the fields and the code is built on your phone. • A scan history that lives only on your phone and is never uploaded. ------------------------------- ● Private and offline by design ------------------------------- • The camera is used ONLY to read codes on-device — no frame is recorded or uploaded. Scanning runs on ZXing, on your device, not in any cloud. • Zero network calls after install — provable in airplane mode. Privacy label: Data Not Collected. • You can see it, not just read it: an OFFLINE badge sits on the viewfinder while the camera runs, and your history states plainly that it stays on this phone. • No analytics, no ads, no account. ------------------------------- ● Built to be used by anyone ------------------------------- • 64 × 64 pt touch targets · AMOLED black · Electric Indigo accent · WCAG-AAA contrast • English · Korean · Japanese · German · French · Arabic · Simplified Chinese ------------------------------- ● No subscriptions, no ads ------------------------------- No subscription. No ads. No account. QR Scanner joins Scanner and the rest of Baro — lightweight tools that respect your data. "The tools you reach for first."
