QR scanner

Square pattern decoder

A QR scanner is a device or application that reads QR codes—those square patterns of black and white modules that encode information.

Most smartphones have built-in QR scanners through their camera apps.

You point the scanner at a code and it decodes the data, typically opening a website, displaying text, or adding contact information: Scan the QR code to see the menu.
