Questions
How do I scan with the camera?
Press “Scan with camera” and allow camera access when your browser asks. Hold the code inside the frame: it’s read as soon as it’s sharp, and the camera turns off. The camera picture is only looked at on your device; nothing is recorded or uploaded. For a code in a screenshot or a photo someone sent you, drop or paste the image instead.
Why wasn’t a code found?
The code may be too small, blurry, cut off or at a steep angle in the picture. Crop the image around the code, or take a sharper, straighter photo. If the image holds several codes, this tool reads one of them; crop to the one you want.
Is it safe to open the link?
QR codes can point to any website, including fake ones. The tool shows the full address before anything opens: check the website name, and don’t enter passwords or payment details on a site you reached from an unexpected code.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Your images are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
