ScanQR is a fast, accurate QR code and barcode scanner, a QR code generator, and a payment QR tool in one simple app. Point your camera, or pick a photo, and get a clear result with the right actions in a single tap. SCAN ANYTHING, ACCURATELY • Reads QR codes and all common barcodes in a fraction of a second • Barcode digits are double-checked, so product codes are not misread • Auto-zoom for small or distant codes, tap to focus, and a built-in flashlight with a low-light hint • Scan from your photo library, even when the code is small in the picture • Optional beep and vibration when a code is found SMART RESULTS WITH ONE-TAP ACTIONS ScanQR understands what you scanned and shows only the actions you need: • Websites: open, share or copy, with a safety check first • Wi-Fi: join the network or copy the password • Contacts: add to your address book, call, email or show on a map • Events: add to your calendar • Email, SMS, phone numbers and map locations • App Store and social media links STAY SAFE FROM QR SCAMS Fake QR codes are a growing scam. ScanQR warns you before you open a link that looks suspicious: shortened links that hide where they go, look-alike characters, raw IP addresses, and sites pretending to be a well-known bank, shop or delivery company. Risky links always ask for confirmation before opening.

CREATE BEAUTIFUL QR CODES Make QR codes for links, text, Wi-Fi, contact cards, email, SMS, phone, calendar events, locations, payments, crypto addresses, app links and social profiles. • Customize colors, size, density and margins, and add your logo • Built-in checks warn you if colors or a large logo could make the code hard to scan • Every code is verified by scanning it back, so you know it works before you share it • Smart form checks catch typos in emails, phone numbers, links and IBANs • Save to Photos, share, copy, or email the code as an image YOUR DIGITAL BUSINESS CARD Fill in your details once and get a personal QR contact card.
