Editorial policy

Everything we publish on ScannerQR — from how-to guides to articles — is written to help you scan and create QR codes with confidence. This policy describes the standards we hold our content to.

Accuracy and testing

Our guides describe steps we have actually performed. When we explain how to scan a QR code on iPhone or Android, we verify the steps on current operating system versions. Technical claims about formats, capacity and error correction are checked against the relevant specifications and our own testing.

Independence

Our recommendations are based on merit, not payment. We do not accept compensation in exchange for favorable coverage, and our tool comparisons reflect genuine, testable differences.

Clarity over jargon

QR technology can get technical fast. We aim for plain language, concrete examples and step-by-step instructions, adding depth for advanced readers without losing beginners.

Updates and corrections

Operating systems and best practices change. We review our most popular guides regularly and update the "last updated" date when we make meaningful changes. If you spot an error, please tell us via our contact page and we will correct it promptly.

Sources

Where relevant, we rely on primary sources: official platform documentation, the open standards that define QR and barcode symbologies, and the open-source libraries that power our tools.
