BarcodeIQ does not require a login, does not collect personal data, and does not store your scans on any server. Everything stays on your device.

What BarcodeIQ Does

BarcodeIQ is a barcode and QR code scanning app for iOS and Android. It allows you to scan barcodes using your camera, import images from your photo library, analyse barcode quality, decode GS1 data, and generate barcodes and QR codes.

No Account Required

You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information to use BarcodeIQ. The app works entirely without authentication.

Permissions We Request

Camera

BarcodeIQ requests access to your camera solely to scan barcodes and QR codes. The camera is only active when you are using the scanning screen. It is never accessed in the background or when the app is not in use.

Photo Library

BarcodeIQ requests access to your photo library only when you explicitly choose to import an image for scanning. We do not read, copy, or transmit any photos from your library. Access is granted per-import only.

Data Storage

Your scan history and app preferences are stored locally on your device using standard on-device storage. This data is:
