Frequently Asked Questions

How do I scan a QR code from a picture on my device?
Upload your photo, screenshot, or graphic file to the scanner and click "Scan QR Code". The browser analyzes the pixel matrix and extracts the encoded text or URL in milliseconds.
Are my photos or QR contents uploaded to a server?
No. All decoding happens directly inside your web browser using client-side image processing. No files or decoded data are uploaded to any server.
Does this tool automatically open decoded URLs?
No. For your security, the tool displays the full URL so you can inspect it first. You can click "Open Link" to visit the site in a new tab only when you decide to.
Can this tool read Wi-Fi network QR codes?
Yes. It automatically parses Wi-Fi QR codes (WIFI: format) and clearly displays the Network Name (SSID), Security Protocol, and Password with a one-click copy button.
What should I do if the scanner cannot find a QR code?
Ensure the QR code is clearly in focus, has sufficient contrast against its background, and is not distorted or heavily compressed. You can crop closer to the QR code and try again.
