What is QR Snap?

QR Snap is an Android QR and barcode app from Ars Technology. You scan with the camera or from gallery images, generate 14+ code types, check URLs before you open them, keep history on the device, and with Lifetime Unlock you get gallery batch scan, export, backup, restore, share, and Point of Sale.

Scan and create
Live camera scan, scan from gallery, and camera batch for free. Generate 14+ QR and barcode types: URL, text, Wi-Fi, vCard, events, location, social, and product codes. Gallery batch scan is in Lifetime Unlock.
URL safety and email checks
Before you open a link, QR Snap runs a URL safety check (Google Web Risk plus pattern checks). Everyone gets 5 checks per day. Email domain (MX) validation is unlimited and does not use those credits.
Export, backup, restore, share
Lifetime Unlock includes local backup and restore, export as CSV, JSON, image ZIP, and parsed text, and share to other apps. Codes stay on the device. No cloud sync.
Point of Sale and pricing
POS in Lifetime Unlock: local inventory, scan-to-cart, sales history, receipts. Pricing is Free, a $9.99 one-time Lifetime Unlock, and URL packs at $0.99, $2.99, and $4.99 if you need more than 5 checks a day.

Security & Safety

Other QR apps decode the data and stop there. QR Snap checks the link before you open it.

URL Link Safety Check
Scanned links are checked against known threats via Google Web Risk, plus suspicious-pattern checks. Everyone gets 5 checks per day; more are available through credit packs.
Email Domain Validation
Unlimited for everyone. An MX lookup over DNS confirms whether an email domain can receive mail. Does not use your URL check credits.
Plain-Language Results
Clear safe, risk, or unavailable states shown inline on the scan result. No need to interpret threat logs.
Private, Works Offline
Scans, history, and generated codes stay on your device. Only the link being checked is sent for a safety check.
