Scan. Connect. Share. Anywhere.
Panther Barcode Reader is a modern QR and barcode scanner for Android and Windows. Scan instantly, organize your results, generate QR codes, and share scans seamlessly between your phone and PC.
Your phone and PC, working together
Most QR scanners stop at "scan → view result." Panther Barcode Reader keeps both of your devices connected, so a scan can continue where you're actually working.
Instant scanning
Scan QR codes and common barcode formats quickly with your device camera, or from an image you already have.
Android ↔ Windows sharing
Connect your phone and PC over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and send scan results between them — in either direction.
Privacy focused
Scan history stays on your device. Results are shared only with paired devices, and only when you choose.
Connect, scan, and share in three steps
Connect
Pair your Android phone and Windows PC using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. You confirm a short code the first time so only your devices are linked.
Scan
Scan any supported QR code or barcode on either device.
Share
Send the result instantly to the connected device — phone to PC, or PC to phone.
