QR Scanner - QR Code Scanner APK for Android

QR Scanner - QR Code Scanner is a QR code scanner and barcode reader that decodes information from your camera or gallery and generates custom codes for links, contacts, and Wi-Fi credentials. Over 79 million installs and a 4.05 rating from 131,301 users make it one of the most widely adopted utilities in the category.

Point your camera at any code and the app reads it automatically. No zoom, no capture button. The scanner recognizes product barcodes, event tickets, Wi-Fi network credentials, contact cards, and URL links. If the code is printed on packaging you can't angle properly, scan it from a photo in your gallery instead. Every scan lands in a searchable history so you can reopen a restaurant menu or rejoin a network without hunting for the original code.

Key Features:

• The QR code generator turns text, URLs, contact details, and Wi-Fi passwords into shareable codes you can save or send directly from the app.
• Batch scan mode processes multiple codes in one session, useful when cataloging inventory or checking in attendees.
• A price scanner reads product barcodes and surfaces comparison results so you can check if another store lists the item cheaper.
• Gallery scanning decodes codes from screenshots and photos already stored on your device.
• Flashlight support ensures the scanner works in dim aisles and unlit rooms.
• Light and dark display modes adjust the interface brightness to match your environment.

Practical use cases

Use the app at grocery stores to compare prices, at networking events to exchange contact cards, or at home to connect guests to Wi-Fi without spelling out the password. The business card generator creates a scannable code from your own contact details, and the history log keeps every decoded URL and credential accessible for weeks. The app only requests camera permission and stores scan records locally.

Alternatives to QR Scanner - QR Code Scanner

QR & Barcode Scanner by Gamma Play offers a similar feature set with a more minimalist interface and a focus on scan history management. Google Lens integrates code scanning with broader image recognition, translation, and shopping tools, but it routes more tasks through cloud services. QR Scanner - QR Code Scanner sits between them: more features than Gamma Play's stripped-down approach, fewer cloud dependencies than Lens.

QR Scanner - QR Code Scanner handles the core scanning and generation tasks for users who need a dedicated utility rather than a bundled feature inside a camera app. The app contains advertisements and locks certain features behind in-app purchases ranging from $4.99 to $39.99.
