Link safety
A QR code can point anywhere. Look before you leap.
Fake parking meters, swapped menu codes, phishing stickers — scanned links are a common way in. Universal Scanner puts a checkpoint between the code and your browser.
- See what the site says it is The page’s own title and description appear under the link, read as plain text — the page never runs.
- Check the real address Before anything opens, the actual domain is shown in full, so a look-alike stands out.
- You decide Nothing opens until you tap Open website. One tap on Cancel and you’re out.

Designed for everyone
Light, dark, and easy to read.
Follow your phone’s theme or choose one. Larger text and a high-contrast mode are a switch away, and the app works with your phone’s screen reader.

Privacy
Your scans are yours.
No account, no tracking of what you scan. The camera is only used to read codes.
Stored on your device
History and the codes you create live on your phone, not on a server.
Works offline
Scanning and creating need no connection. Only optional lookups go online.
Private mode
One switch: nothing is saved and nothing is looked up online.
Lookups you control
Online lookups send only a barcode number or read a site’s title. Turn them off any time.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Something else? Reach Tech Vora Limited through the app’s Google Play listing.
Which devices does it run on?
Android phones and tablets running Android 7.0 or later, with a camera. Scanning from photos works on any of them.
Can I scan from a screenshot or photo?
Yes. Choose Scan from a photo and pick one or more images. Every code in them is read, and several codes found together open as a batch.
What does the app send over the internet?
Only optional lookups: a product’s barcode number goes to Open Food Facts or Open Library, and a scanned website is read for its title and description. Turn Look up online off in Settings, or use Private mode, and nothing is sent.
How does the link checkpoint protect me?
Scanned links never open straight away. You see the real address and what the site says it is, with a clear caution, and nothing happens until you choose to open it.
Can I export what I scan?
Yes — batches and history export to CSV, Excel, PDF or JSON, and any code can be saved as an image to share.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There’s nothing to sign up for; open the app and scan.
