MORE POSSIBILITIES WITH PLUS

From a scan
to your next step.

01 / MRZ & OCR

Read it.
Use the text.

Read travel-document MRZ with your camera. Capture a frame or choose a photo for MRZ and printed text recognition. Save a result to History, then copy or share its text.

  • View fields from recognized ICAO TD1, TD2 and TD3 MRZ
  • See check-digit status for successfully parsed ICAO MRZ
  • Keep other structurally plausible MRZ as raw text
  • Process recognition on your device

MRZ check digits check the text’s consistency. They do not verify authenticity. NFC chip reading is unavailable.

02 / GENERATE FOR TEST

Create it.
See what reads.

Turn your own text into a test code. Choose a format, adjust its presentation, and try it with your scanner.

  • Choose QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417 or supported linear formats
  • Adjust format settings, white borders and linear bar height
  • Rotate the code and switch to maximum screen brightness
  • Pinch to zoom and drag the code in full screen
  • Save a PNG to Photos with a 2560-pixel longest side

Try your codes with a compatible reader. ScanFolio supports practical testing; it does not certify print quality or standards compliance.

SCAN. GENERATE. HISTORY.

Three tabs.
One connected workflow.

01 / SCAN

Scan a code. Open a link.

Point your camera at a supported barcode to read its full value. Use GO to open a link result, with zoom and torch controls to help frame your scan.

Plus adds live MRZ, photo import and Capture recognition. General OCR runs after Capture or photo import.

02 / GENERATE

Create a code from your text.

Enter text or a link for a basic QR preview. With Plus, explore additional formats, adjust settings and save the generated PNG to Photos.

Plus includes Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, EAN/UPC, Codabar and ITF formats.

03 / HISTORY

Save it. Come back to it.

With Plus, keep selected results and their available images in History. Copy or share a value, or send saved text to Generate for a new code.

Access synced scans on your other devices when private iCloud sync and the required encryption keys are available.

YOUR SCANS. YOUR CHOICES.

Read on your device.
Keep what you choose.

Recognition happens on your device. The content and images you save to History are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Unlock History using iOS device-owner authentication.

What to expect

Recognition depends on your camera, iOS version and image quality. Some generated formats and settings require a compatible reader. Decoding a barcode, checking MRZ digits or parsing boarding-pass fields does not verify authenticity, identity or ticket validity. NFC/ePassport chip reading is unavailable.
