Because, we have here something called “Swiss Qr Bill” (standardized e-bill with Qr code) and some shops send you the bill via email. Would be nice, if i could just tap the qr-image and open with app.

Binaryeye supports both decoding and encoding via Share menu. So you can share an image from any app to decode(can also be a photo that has a qr code somewhere). It also supports sharing a text or link to generate one. It also has searchable history support.
Thanks, but crashes on opening a png. The image is valide, shows a preview in Material Files.
That’s interesting, I’m using it since android 4 days, don’t remember a single crash. If that’s the only case it crashes, I would open an issue and use it in the meanwhile. Check the permissions maybe?
+1. BinaryEye is far more reliable than the QR code reader in my camera.
It also has support for a large number of QRlike and barcode formats, and generation as mentioned.
Cognex Barcode Scanner is not open source but it is the best. It’s basically just a demo frontend for a commercial barcode programming library so they are not trying to monetize the app itself. It supports everything! Not just QR code but every kind of barcode. I used to work in logistics and I used it to scan all the different barcodes on shipping labels.
When you scan a barcode you can choose to open, copy, share. Open launches your default web browser. If the barcode isn’t a URL, it all give a search option and you can configure your preferred search engine. It can scan images from your gallery or use your camera. But the important part is it won’t do anything with the scanned data until you tell it to.

“QR & Barcode scanner” is Free an Open Source, and supports what you want (if i understood you correctly) github.com/wewewe718/QrAndBarcodeScanner
Looks like it’s not been updated in a while, but it works just fine. Available on F-Droid and on Google Play
GrapheneOS’ camera app has a qr code reader baked in

URLCheck solves this issue for all links. Just make it your default browser and go from there. Lots of cool settings to mess with inside too including an optional VirusTotal integration!
