Description
Scan and create every common 1D and 2D barcode - one at a time or continuously in Batch Scan. Export your history as CSV or automatically send scans to your own server. Unlike an ordinary scanner, Code Scan also verifies the cryptographic seals on official documents.
WHAT IT READS
QR, MicroQR and rMQR (rectangular MicroQR)
DataMatrix, including DMRE
Aztec, PDF417, MaxiCode
EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E
Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar, ITF / ITF-14
GS1 DataBar and DataBar Expanded
VDS, VDS-NC and IDB document seals
Codes are decoded on your device: from the live camera, from a photo in your library, or from an image you share into the app from somewhere else.
DIGITAL SEALS ON OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
This is what sets Code Scan apart: it does not just read the seal, it checks the cryptographic signature.
VDS (Visible Digital Seal, BSI TR-03137) in DataMatrix
VDS-NC (ICAO) and IDB (ICAO Datastructure for Barcode) in QR codes
Signatures verified against X.509 certificates, kept up to date automatically
Import your own X.509 certificates for closed ecosystems
MRZ data contained in a seal is parsed and shown in readable form
This app supports reading and verification of (among others) VDS Profiles:
Social Insurance Card
Residence Permit Document
ICAO Visa Document
ICAO Emergency Travel Document
German Arrival Attestation Document
Address Sticker for German Identity Card
Place of Residence Sticker for German Passports
VDS-NC Profiles:
ICAO PoT and PoV (ISO/IEC JTC1 SC17 WG3/TF5)
CREATE YOUR OWN CODES
QR, DataMatrix, Aztec, PDF417 and Code 128
Live preview while you type
Choose the QR error correction level (L / M / Q / H) or the PDF417 level (0-8)
Keep your codes in a library, mark favorites, share any of them as an image
FASTER IN EVERYDAY USE
Camera light in four brightness steps and 1x / 2x / 4x zoom - for tiny print, dark rooms and laminated documents
Share a screenshot from any app to read the code inside it, or share a link to turn it into a code
Batch Scan: capture multiple codes without a result screen and save them straight to your history
Siri and Shortcuts: create a code or open the scanner by voice, or build both actions into your own shortcuts
Recreate a scanned code in a single tap, with the content already filled in
A HISTORY THAT STAYS ORGANIZED
Grouped into Starred, Today, This Week and Before
Scanning a code again updates the existing entry instead of piling up duplicates
Export and share your scan history as a CSV file
Stored seals are re-verified in the background against the current certificates, so an expired signature stops showing as valid
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE
GS1 application identifiers parsed and labelled
Open recognized links immediately, skipping the result screen
Copy and share the raw code data instead of the interpreted content
Optionally send scans automatically to your own HTTPS endpoint (off by default)
Play a confirmation sound after successful transfers
Native iPad layouts
PRIVACY
Decoding happens entirely on your device, and your history stays there. There is no account and no tracking. To verify seals, the app downloads the public signer certificates from our certificate service. The optional face comparison against a document portrait is the one feature that sends an image to a KURZ Digital service, and only when you start it yourself.
