Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a QR code from a screenshot?
Upload the image file, and the scanner reads the code and decodes the embedded link or text instantly, no camera required.
Do I need to install an app to scan QR codes?
No, you can either upload a screenshot or use your device's camera to scan a QR code live — both run entirely in your browser, with camera mode asking for camera permission the first time.
Does the camera scanner work on mobile devices?
Yes, it works on any phone or webcam with browser camera access, using the rear camera by default on mobile.
What happens if I deny camera permission?
You'll see a message explaining camera access was blocked, and you can still switch to uploading a screenshot or photo instead.
Is the camera feed uploaded anywhere while scanning?
No, video frames are analyzed locally in your browser in real time and are never sent to a server.
Do I need good lighting for the camera to detect a QR code?
Yes, clear, even lighting and holding the code steady in frame make detection faster and more reliable.
