About Code Reader - QR Scanner
A feature rich QR and Barcode Scanner application: Scan, Generate & Share Codes with everyone.
Scan codes with encoded text, links, contacts, emails, locations, etc.
When scanning the code, if it contains a link it will automatically open the browser; if it's an email address it will let you send a message quickly; as well as displaying or adding a contact from an encoded VCard.
You can not only read codes but also generate them inside the app or using an action extension¹.
Have you ever seen a QR Code image online and wanted to scan it quickly using your own phone?, you can use the "Read Code" extension to do it. ¹
Main features:
- Read codes from the main app using the camera; scan text, links, contacts, emails, product barcodes, etc.
- Read QR codes (and 1-D barcodes in iOS 11) from an image using the "Read Code" extension. ¹
- Scan barcodes and automatically open a relevant web page or even Amazon (see the Settings).
- Generate QR or 1-D Barcodes.
- Generate codes from Emails, SMS, phone numbers and Wi-Fi networks.
- Connect a Wi-Fi network automatically by reading a barcode.
- Read, display and save multiple codes at the same time.
- Generate a code from a text, link or contact using the "Generate QR" extension. ¹
- The scanner preview is up to 60fps with Optical image stabilization and zoom capabilities (optical zoom (x2) for iPhones with dual cameras).
- Option to automatically copy the read content to the clipboard.
- Option to always use https, to avoid insecure websites.
- Show Recent scanned or generated QR codes.
- Generate colored barcodes just by tapping on the image with 2 fingers or using the 3 Dots icon when selecting a code.
- Share any barcode.
- A custom URL Scheme to generate QR codes from an URL or text (encoded). ²
- Widgets [today extensions] for recent codes and to open the QR scanner directly
¹ The extension might need to be enabled manually, just open the share menu, tap on the bottom "More" icon, enable the app extensions (Activities).
² You can try this function on your browser or in a text messaging app, just add "generateqr://" before an URL or a text to open the app and generate a QR Code Image.
