Before you download
What shoppers and travelers ask before switching to ScanQR
What types of codes can ScanQR scan?
ScanQR reads standard QR codes, product barcodes (including UPC and EAN formats), ticket codes, and promotional codes. If it has a scannable pattern, the app's camera recognition engine is built to handle it.
Can I scan codes in low-light environments?
Yes. ScanQR uses advanced recognition technology that works in dim lighting conditions — handy for scanning menus at restaurants, codes in dimly lit warehouses, or tickets at evening events.
How does the scan history work?
Every scan is automatically logged with a timestamp and organized chronologically. You can scroll through past scans, search by keyword to find a specific result, and tap any entry to view its full details again.
Can I export my scan history?
Yes — ScanQR lets you export your complete scan history as a CSV file. This makes it straightforward to back up your data, share it with a colleague, or analyze it in a spreadsheet.
Which platforms can I generate QR codes for?
The QR code generator supports Phone, Mail, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok, Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Spotify, and Wi-Fi. Each generated code is labeled and ready to share or print instantly.
Does the app store any personal data from my scans?
No. ScanQR does not collect or store personal or sensitive information from the codes you scan. Your scan history lives locally on your device and is not uploaded to any external server.
Does it give feedback when a scan is successful?
Yes. The app provides both a visual cue and an audio tone the moment a code is successfully read, so you always know the scan went through — no double-checking required. You can customize or mute the scan sound in Settings.
Can I customize how the app behaves for different code types?
Yes. ScanQR's Settings screen lets you choose default actions for different code types, adjust display preferences, and toggle scan sounds on or off — so the app works the way you prefer rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all workflow.
