Present QR codes easily
2D codes found, framed and browsed with no limit.
Focus on the essentials

The Pro shortcut
Every QR code. One gesture.
From Files, Photos or another app, select several documents and choose “Extract QR codes”. ThumbLens Pro gathers every detected code into a slideshow that is immediately ready to present.
Opening documents normally in ThumbLens and presenting their QR codes remains free. The Pro shortcut simply removes several steps.

FAQ
Clear answers to common questions.
Does ThumbLens scan QR codes?+
ThumbLens detects QR and other 2D codes in your documents, then presents them so a gate, inspector or another device can scan them.
Is QR presentation free?+
Yes. Opening documents in the app, finding, displaying and browsing their QR codes stays free with no limit.
What is the Pro shortcut for?+
From another app’s action sheet, it extracts every QR from several files and gathers them directly into a slideshow.
Can I open several tickets at once?+
Yes. ThumbLens opens several PDFs or images and lets you move between files and pages.
Does ThumbLens change my files?+
No. Display rotation and framing never alter the original document.
Are my documents sent to a server?+
No. Document analysis is local. External sharing only happens when you deliberately choose a destination app.
Why does the screen stay awake?+
So your QR remains ready at a check, ThumbLens can keep the screen on while a document is open and the app is in front.
Can I turn off the screen wake lock?+
Yes. You control this behaviour in the app settings.
Is Pro a subscription?+
No. ThumbLens Pro is a one-time, non-consumable purchase.
Can I restore my purchase?+
Yes. “Restore purchase” syncs purchases for the corresponding Apple or Google account. Without a ThumbLens account, purchases cannot transfer across platforms.
Which languages are supported?+
The interface is available in 14 languages. OCR currently supports French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Dutch documents. QR codes work independently of language.
At the next check, your QR will already be ready.
Unlimited QR presentation, free. Advanced features available with ThumbLens Pro.
