About Us

Built for Fast, Private QR & Barcode Workflows on iOS

First released on the App Store in June 2014, QR Code Reader & Generator (App Store ID 885743052) has helped more than a million iPhone and iPad users scan, validate, and create QR codes and barcodes without accounts or cloud uploads.

Our Mission

QR codes and barcodes power everything from restaurant menus and Wi-Fi guest access to retail inventory, boarding passes, and digital business cards. Yet Apple's built-in Camera scanner only handles basic web URLs in live view—leaving out 1D product barcodes, saved screenshots, files, searchable history, and code creation.

We built QR Code Reader & Generator to be the all-in-one utility that stays fast and stays out of your way:

  • 100% On-Device Processing: Every camera frame, photo import, and generated QR code is processed locally on your iPhone or iPad.
  • Dual Decoding Engine: Combines Apple CoreImage hardware acceleration with ZXing fallback decoding so even angled, low-contrast, or dense 1D/2D barcodes scan reliably.
  • Complete Studio + Validator: Create QR codes across 14 templates, customize colors, dot shapes, and center logos, and run the built-in Validate check before printing.
