Frequently asked questions
Is my QR data stored?
No. All scanning happens locally in your browser.
What image formats work?
JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP up to 5 MB each.
Why won't my code scan?
Ensure the code is clear, well lit, and fills enough of the frame; crop to the code if needed.
Do I need to tap Capture?
No. While the camera is open, the tool scans continuously and decodes as soon as it sees a valid QR code.
When does Stop Camera appear?
Only after you click Use Camera. It stops the live view and returns you to upload or camera options unless a code was already decoded.
