Questions
Is my image uploaded anywhere?+
No. The image is read in your browser and never leaves your device.
How do I scan a QR code from a screenshot?+
Take the screenshot, then drop it here, choose it with the button, or paste it with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac). The text or link in the code appears below.
Why can't the scanner read my code?+
The code may be blurry, cut off, too small or low in contrast. Try a sharper or larger image that shows the whole code with some empty space around it.
Can I scan a QR code with my phone camera instead?+
Yes. On most phones the built-in camera app reads QR codes: point it at the code and tap the link that appears. This page is for codes you already have as an image.
