Camera and image scanning
Point the Android camera at a QR code or barcode, or import an existing photo, screenshot, poster image, or shared file when the code is not in front of you.
Android QR code scanner
Scan, save, and create QR codes.
QR Scanner reads QR codes and barcodes from the camera, saved images, and shared screenshots, then keeps useful results close for copy, share, export, or repeat use.
Scanner flow
A short route from code to action.
Useful result actions
Preview the complete decoded content first. Confirm explicitly before opening a link, joining Wi-Fi, saving a contact, downloading a file or paying, and verify payment details in the trusted payment app.
Local history and exports
Saved history and CSV or TXT exports can contain private links, contact details, Wi-Fi information or transaction data. Protect them and share only when intended.
QR code creation
Create new QR codes for common everyday content such as links, text, Wi-Fi access, contacts, calendar items, and locations from the same utility app.
FAQ
Common QR Scanner questions.
Can QR Scanner read a QR code from a photo?
Yes. Use image import to scan QR codes from screenshots, saved photos, posters, or images shared from another Android app.
What can I do after a QR code or barcode is scanned?
QR Scanner can show actions for decoded results. Preview the full destination and confirm explicitly before opening a link, joining Wi-Fi, saving a contact, downloading a file or paying; verify the recipient and amount in the trusted payment app.
Can I save or export scan history?
Yes. Treat saved history and CSV or TXT exports as potentially sensitive because they can contain private links, contact details, Wi-Fi information or transaction data.
Install on Android
Use one scanner for camera scans, saved images, history, and QR creation.
Install QR Scanner from Google Play when you want a focused Android utility for reading, keeping, exporting, and creating QR codes.
A safer scan habit
Classify the result before you act.
A decoded string is not automatically a safe destination. Pause at the preview, identify whether it is a link, contact, Wi-Fi instruction, file, payment request, or plain text, and compare it with the context that produced the code.
For sign-ins, payments, downloads, and account recovery, use the trusted app or a bookmarked address instead of allowing a code to rush you. Save history only when it has a purpose, and delete entries that expose private data.
