QR Restorer on a phone, scanning a damaged QR code and reporting Reed-Solomon repairs The restored, clean QR code ready to download as a PNG or SVG Made for phones
What it does

Scan the messy one, keep the clean one

The app reads a damaged, rotated or low-contrast code, repairs it, and draws a crisp new QR you can save or share.

Camera, photo or upload

Point the rear camera at a code, take a photo, or pick an image from your gallery. Torch and zoom appear when the phone supports them.

Restores damaged codes

A built-in Reed-Solomon engine repairs missing or dirty modules, then checks the new code still decodes.

Clean PNG or SVG

Download a sharp copy, copy the text, or type a payload yourself to re-encode a fresh code.

History on this device

Real scans from the camera, a photo or an upload are saved on this phone only, up to fifty at a time.

Speak the payload

Optional voice feedback. Wi-Fi passwords are never read aloud.

Works offline

The scanner and encoder live in the app. Once it’s installed you can restore a code with no signal.

Scan this with your phone

QR Restorer is designed for phones. Point your camera at this code to open the app, then add it to your home screen. You can still try it in a desktop browser, but the camera and one-handed layout are meant for a phone.

Install

Keep it on the home screen

QR Restorer is a web app you can install on your phone. Once it’s installed it opens like any other app and keeps working without a signal.

Android & Chrome

Open QR Restorer and tap Install in the header. If you don’t see it, use the browser menu → Install app.

iPhone & iPad

Open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.

Computer

You can install it in Chrome or Edge if you want, but it’s built to be used on a phone. Scan the code above to open it there.

The camera needs a secure connection, which this site already uses. The first time you tap Camera, your phone will ask for permission. Scan history and the TTS setting stay on this device.
