QR Scanner is a desktop application for reading and creating QR codes. It is built with Flutter and uses a graphical interface that follows a modern Material-style design.
The application concentrates on two main tasks: decoding QR codes found in images and generating new codes from text. Users can select an image file or capture the current screen to find a code already visible on the desktop.
QR Scanner also provides several controls over how generated codes are displayed. These include the symbol version, error correction level and appearance of the individual modules. This makes it useful for people who want a straightforward QR code utility with a little more flexibility than a basic encoder.
This is free and open source software.
