Why Scanora

What Scanora helps with.

Foreground camera scanning

Use the camera while actively scanning QR codes in real time without background camera access.

Optional image-based scanning

Choose a single image through the system picker when you want to scan a QR code from an existing photo or file.

Local-first utility flow

Scan history stays on the device, and QR generation supports common formats like text, links, email, phone, SMS, Wi-Fi, contact, and location.
