Questions
How do I scan a QR code that's on my own screen?
Take a screenshot and choose it here. That's the easiest way to read a code you received on your phone or computer.
Why can't it find the code?
Make sure the whole code is visible, in focus and not too small in the image. Very glossy or curved surfaces can also confuse scanners.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs in your browser and works on your photo directly on your device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, which is why it also keeps working if your connection drops after the page loads.
