QR Dog

Volume’s Best Friend

QR Dog scans your RAW photos for QR codes and tags them automatically — the way you choose — so you can stop sorting and get back to what matters.

Built for event, school, sports, and all volume photographers who need speed, accuracy, and a workflow that just works.

What Does QR Dog Do?

QR Dog is a lightweight desktop app and Lightroom plug-in designed to solve one very specific problem:
finding QR codes inside RAW photo files quickly and reliably.

Instead of exporting, guessing, or manually searching, QR Dog:

  • Scans RAW files directly

  • Detects QR codes automatically

  • Applies tags in ways that fit your existing workflow

Whether you’re working with hundreds or tens of thousands of images, QR Dog helps you move faster with less effort.

Designed for your workflow

QR Dog doesn’t replace your tools — it works alongside them.

  • Works directly with RAW files

  • Integrates with Lightroom

  • Lets you choose how images are tagged
    (keywords, color labels, text lists, and more)

  • Runs locally on your computer

    No new catalog systems.
    No forced exports.
    No cloud uploads.

We built QR Dog to be focused and trustworthy.

  • It does not upload your photos anywhere

  • It does not modify or damage your RAW files

  • It does not force you into a new workflow

  • It does not try to be an all-in-one platform

QR Dog does one job — and does it well.

Why Would I need this?

Because it doesn’t exist.

We looked everywhere for a solution to this problem. We want to sort out the QR codes BEFORE we make any adjustments to images, BEFORE we make exports, BEFORE we pay someone by the image for editing!

We couldn’t find a solution, so we made it ourselves.
