Frequently Asked Questions About QR Code Scanning
How does the browser QR scanner work?
Our scanner uses HTML5 camera stream access or image decoding algorithms (via Html5Qrcode) to parse QR code matrices directly in your browser JavaScript environment.
Is video or camera feed sent to any server?
No! Camera feeds and uploaded image frames are processed strictly in your local device memory. Zero video or image data is ever transmitted.
Can I scan a QR code from a saved photo or screenshot?
Yes! You can switch from camera mode to file upload mode to scan QR codes embedded inside saved image files or screenshots.
What happens if a QR code contains a website URL?
The decoded URL is displayed safely in plain text first, allowing you to inspect it before choosing to open or copy the link.
