Scan QR Code Master

How to scan a QR code on an iPad

An iPad scans QR codes the same way an iPhone does — through the Camera — and a dedicated app adds history and barcode support.

With the Camera app

  1. Open the Camera app on your iPad.
  2. Point the rear camera at the QR code and hold steady.
  3. Tap the notification that appears to open the link or content.

With Scan QR Code Master

Open the app and point the camera at the code — it reads it automatically, keeps it in your scan history, and also scans product barcodes.

FAQ

Can an iPad scan QR codes from its own screen?
Not with the camera. Take a screenshot of the code, open it in the Photos app, and tap the code icon when it appears.
