Frequently Asked Questions
- What image formats are supported?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and most other common image formats are supported. The image should be clear and the QR code should be visible and not too small.
- Why can't the scanner read my QR code?
- Common reasons include blurry images, very small QR codes, poor lighting or contrast, or damaged/partial QR codes. Try using a higher resolution image with good contrast between the code and background.
- Is my image uploaded to a server?
- No. The image is processed entirely in your browser. On supported browsers (Chrome, Edge), the native BarcodeDetector API is used. On other browsers, the jsQR library provides a JavaScript fallback.
- Can I scan barcodes other than QR codes?
- This tool is optimized for QR codes specifically. Standard barcodes (UPC, EAN, Code 128) may work in browsers that support the BarcodeDetector API but are not guaranteed.
- Can I scan from my camera?
- Camera scanning is planned for a future update. Currently, you can take a photo of the QR code and upload the image file.
