Description

Binary data can be encoded into printable optical pages for unusual offline archiving experiments. This command-line codec targets people who want to store or recover data through paper and optical scanning instead of normal disks.

It is a niche archival tool, not a backup replacement. Verify recovery on test data before trusting important files.
