Frequently Asked Questions
What QR code types are supported?
Standard QR codes containing URLs, text, WiFi credentials, contact info, and other data types.
Can I scan from my phone camera?
Yes, click Scan with Camera and allow camera access. The rear camera works best for scanning.
What if no QR code is detected?
Ensure the QR code is clearly visible, well-lit, and not too small in the image. Try cropping to just the QR code area.
Are my images uploaded?
No. All scanning happens locally in your browser using the jsQR JavaScript library.
How can I easily copy the decoded text or URL from the QR code scanner?
After successfully scanning a QR code, the decoded text, URL, or data will appear in a dedicated output field. Simply click the 'Copy' button located next to the result to instantly transfer the extracted information to your clipboard. This allows you to paste the clean data directly into spreadsheets, documents, or database fields for further use, making data entry more efficient and reducing manual transcription errors.
How do I scan a QR code from an image file or screenshot on my computer?
To scan a QR code from an image file or screenshot on your computer, simply click the 'Upload Image' button on the scanner tool. This will open a file browser where you can select the image containing the QR code. The tool will then instantly process the uploaded picture and display the decoded URL, text, or data. It supports common image formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF for seamless scanning directly from your desktop.
What happens if the QR code is blurry in my uploaded image?
If a QR code's image is blurry or low-resolution, the scanner might struggle to decode it accurately. We recommend using images with at least 200 DPI for best results. For difficult scans, try adjusting the contrast or sharpening the image using basic photo editing software before uploading. The tool uses an advanced decoding algorithm, but a clear input is always best.
