Tessera is two tools in one: a scanner that opens instantly, and a QR designer that makes codes people actually want to scan. Everything runs on your device — no account, no ads, no servers.
SCAN ANYTHING, INSTANTLY
• The camera opens straight to the viewfinder. Point and you're done.
• QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN, UPC, Code 128 and more.
• Continuous batch mode for shelves, tickets and inventory.
• Scan from a photo, a screenshot or a PDF page.
KNOW BEFORE YOU TAP
• Every link shows its real domain up front.
• Lookalike (punycode) domains, shortened links and unencrypted pages are flagged.
• Payment and App Store deep links are called out.
• Every check runs on-device. Nothing you scan is uploaded.
SMART ACTIONS
Join a Wi-Fi network, save a contact, add a calendar event, call, email, text, open a map or copy the raw content — one tap from the result card.
DESIGN CODES THAT LOOK LIKE YOUR BRAND
• 12 hand-tuned styles: mosaic tiles, marble, grain, metallic, gradients, neon.
• Module and eye shapes: square, dot, rounded, diamond, line.
• Your logo or an SF Symbol in the middle, with error correction raised automatically.
• Frames with a call to action: Scan me, Menu, Wi-Fi.
• Live scannability check: every design is decoded on-device before you export, with a fix suggestion when contrast or logo size is off.
MADE FOR PRINT
• PNG with transparency, vector SVG and PDF.
• Ready-made sizes: A4 and Letter posters, table tents, 5 cm stickers, wallpapers.
• Templates for restaurant menus, Wi-Fi posters, business cards, weddings, product labels and social profiles.
• Generate hundreds of codes at once from a CSV file.
CODES THAT NEVER EXPIRE
Dynamic QR services stop working the moment you stop paying. Tessera writes static codes: the data lives in the code itself, so a printed menu or poster keeps scanning forever — with or without a subscription.
EVERY DAY
• My Codes: pin your contact card or home Wi-Fi and show it in a tap.
• Widgets on the Home and Lock Screen, plus a Control Center scan control.
• Shortcuts: make a QR code from the clipboard.
• History with search, favorites, folders and CSV export.
• On iPad the designer becomes a full three-pane studio.
PRIVACY
No accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no network call to scan a code or design one. Your history stays on your device. The one request Tessera can make is "Reveal destination" on a shortened link, which you tap yourself.
The scanner, the safe-link preview and basic codes are free forever. Tessera Pro unlocks every premium style and texture, logos and frames, SVG and PDF export, the templates, CSV batch generation and unlimited folders.
