Scan any QR code in seconds. QR Code Reader turns your camera into a fast, accurate QR scanner - point it at the code, and the result appears instantly. No sign-up, no clutter, no waiting.

A QR code reader that just works

- Contact cards (vCard), phone numbers and SMS

Privacy first
Every scan is processed locally on your phone. Nothing is uploaded to a server, and your scan history never leaves the device. The app asks for camera permission and nothing else - no contacts, no location, no account.

Scan safely
QR codes can hide malicious links. Before anything opens, the QR scanner shows you the full destination URL and flags suspicious shortened links, so you decide whether to continue.

Small and fast
The app is a few megabytes, launches instantly on older Android phones and uses almost no battery in the background.

How to use the QR scanner
1. Open the app and point your camera at the QR code or barcode
2. The QR code reader detects and decodes it automatically
3. Tap the result to open the link, join the Wi-Fi network, save the contact or copy the text

Scan a QR code from an image
Sent a code over WhatsApp, email or Telegram? You do not need a second phone. Open the gallery inside the app, pick the screenshot, and the QR reader decodes it the same way it reads a code through the camera. This also works for QR codes saved from a PDF, a poster photo or a chat.

Wi-Fi QR code reader
Hotels, cafes and offices increasingly print the network as a code instead of a password. Scan it once and connect - no typing long passwords with mixed case and symbols.

Barcode reader for shopping
The same scanner reads 1D product barcodes, so you can look up an item, compare it online or check a label while standing in the aisle.

Where people use it
Restaurant menus, event tickets and boarding passes, payment and UPI codes, product barcodes while shopping, Wi-Fi codes at hotels and cafes, business cards, parcel tracking labels, classroom worksheets, and app or website logins that ask you to scan a QR code shown on a screen.

Common questions
Does the QR code reader work without internet? Yes. Decoding happens on your device, so the QR scanner works in airplane mode. Internet is only needed if you choose to open a scanned link.

Can it scan a QR code from a screenshot? Yes - pick any image from your gallery.

Does it store my scans? Only on your phone, in a history you can clear at any time.

Does it read barcodes too? Yes, both QR codes and standard 1D product barcodes.

Whether you need a quick QR scanner for a menu, a barcode reader for checking a product in a store, or a Wi-Fi QR code reader for a guest network, this QR code reader handles all of it - offline, on-device, and without ads sitting on top of the camera.

Changed
• The rating prompt now uses Google Play's own one-tap rating card instead of sending you out to the store listing.
• It can appear after a scan you acted on, not only after you save or share a code.
• It waits until you are back in the app rather than appearing as you leave for a browser or a share sheet.
• It asks at most three times, ever, and stops for good after that.
