FAQ

How do I read a QR code from an image?

Choose the PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF file. The reader decodes it locally and shows the content before any link can be opened.

Can it read a QR code from a screenshot?

Yes. A sharp screenshot that includes the complete code and quiet zone can be decoded like any image.

Which QR payloads are recognized?

The reader identifies web URLs, Wi-Fi, vCard, mailto, tel, SMS and plain text.

Is the image uploaded?

No. Image and camera decoding run locally in the browser.

Does it open links automatically?

No. It displays the exact content first and only offers an open action for a clean HTTPS URL.
