Our scanner supports all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and WebP. You can upload screenshots, photos taken with your phone, or any digital image containing a QR code. The scanner automatically processes and extracts QR code data from these images.

We only decode and display the QR code content; we don't automatically open links or execute any actions. You have full control over what to do with the decoded information.

Why won't my QR code scan properly?

If your QR code won't scan, try these solutions: ensure good lighting and steady hands when using the camera, make sure the QR code is clearly visible and not damaged or blurry, try different angles or distances, clean your camera lens, or upload a high-quality image instead of using the camera. Very small or low-resolution QR codes may be difficult to scan.
