Everything you need to scan smarter

Panther Barcode Reader is a full scanner on its own — and it gets more useful when your Android phone and Windows PC are connected.

Instant QR & barcode scanning

Scan QR codes and popular barcode formats quickly using your device camera, or decode a code from an image you already have.

Scan history

Automatically organize previous scans so important information is easy to find again. Search and filter your history to get back to a result fast.

QR code generator

Create QR codes for URLs, text, Wi-Fi networks, contacts, email, phone numbers, SMS messages, locations, and calendar events.

Android ↔ Windows sharing

Connect your devices and send scan results between your phone and PC — in either direction.

Wi-Fi connectivity

When both devices are on the same local network, Panther Barcode Reader can establish a direct local connection for fast device-to-device communication.

Bluetooth connectivity

Use Bluetooth when a shared local network connection isn't available.

Favorites

Save important scan results for quick access later.

Export & share

Copy, share, save, or export scan results using your device's normal share options.
