Store listing

Full description
QRefine is a QR code scanner, generator and manager in one app. Scan with the camera, create a code from text or binary data, and keep everything you scan in a searchable list. Unlike a basic QR scanner, QRefine reads the detailed parameters of a code and lets you generate with them, so a scanned code can be reproduced with the same pattern instead of being re-encoded into a different one. If your camera recognizes a code but shows nothing, or another app turns it into garbled text, the code is not broken. QRefine gets the data out: the raw bytes are shown as hex, and the text can be read as the code specifies (ECI or Kanji mode) or in the encoding you choose (UTF-8 / Shift_JIS / ISO-8859-1). Reading in another encoding requires "Retrieve detailed info" to be enabled when scanning. ■ Scanner - Scan QR codes with the camera - Import an image and detect the code inside it - Read a code from a screenshot or a photo in your gallery - Read binary payloads that a normal QR code reader cannot display - View the scanned content as text or as hex - Re-read scanned text in a different encoding, or as the code specifies ■ Generator - Create a QR code from text you type in - Create one from binary data entered as hex - Create one from a file, with its content embedded as binary data (Pro, or free by watching an ad) - Generate with a specific error correction level, mask pattern and QR version - Turn a blurry or low-resolution code into a clean, scannable image - Save the result as a PNG - Export binary data as a file and share it with other apps ■ Manager Most QR code apps give you a scan history. QRefine gives you a library. - Name everything you save - Add a memo to each entry - Organize your codes into folders (Pro) - Search by name or memo - Sort and reorder your list - Delete what you no longer need - Back up the whole list to a file - Restore it on a new device ■ About binary QR codes QRefine is built around binary support. Game codes and enterprise codes often carry raw binary rather than text, and a normal QR code scanner either fails on them or mangles the data. QRefine reads the binary exactly, shows it as hex, lets you edit it, and generates it back out. ■ Who uses QRefine - Developers and QA engineers testing payloads, error correction levels and mask patterns - Business and enterprise users handling binary data in QR codes - Players who receive game codes as images and need a scannable version - Anyone who collects Wi-Fi, ticket, payment or contact codes and wants them organized ■ QRefine Pro QRefine remains free: everything the app could do before is still free. QRefine Pro is an optional plan for those who want more. - No ads - Use folders and file-based QR creation without watching ads - Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase ■ Other features - Dark mode - A simple interface with no clutter - Scan, create, organize and reuse, all in one place If you need a QR code reader that is accurate, a generator that is precise, and somewhere to organize what you keep, QRefine is the QR code app for you. QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED in Japan and in other countries.

What's new

What's new in this version – You can now change how a QR code's text is displayed. On the details screen, read it as the QR code specifies (ECI or Kanji mode), or in an encoding you choose (UTF-8 / Shift_JIS / ISO-8859-1). The raw bytes are still shown as hex, and the original data is always kept. – This requires "Retrieve detailed info" to be enabled in the Camera tab before scanning.
