Common questions

Is the QR code scanner free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no ads in the scanner and no limit.

Is it safe? Are my scans uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded. The code is read inside your browser. Links are never opened for you; you choose whether to press “Open link”.

How do I scan a QR code on my computer?

Use “Scan with camera” if you have a webcam, or take a screenshot of the code and choose it as an image. You can also paste an image.

Why does the camera not start?

The site needs camera permission. Allow it in the address bar, and check that no other app is using the camera.

Why is my QR code not read?

Use a sharp image with the whole code in view and some blank space around it. Very small, blurry or glary codes can fail.

Can it read barcodes too?

Yes. Use the barcode scanner for product barcodes.
