getScan is a web-based application designed to simplify file sharing using QR codes. Users can easily upload files, and the system generates unique QR codes for each file, enabling quick and convenient downloads.

This project aims to provide a user-friendly platform for sharing files through the generation of QR codes. QR codes are machine-readable labels that store data, including files, making them efficient for quick data transfer. getScan leverages this technology to streamline file sharing.

• File Upload: Allows users to upload various file formats (PDF, images, documents, etc.).
• QR Code Generation: Automatically generates unique QR codes for uploaded files.
• Direct Download: Scanning the QR code directs users to a download page.
• File Compression: Files are compressed to reduce size before QR code generation.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive and easy-to-navigate design.

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• Backend: Node.js
• Database: MongoDB
• Server Environment: XAMPP
