Frequently Asked Questions

Why was no QR code found?

Try a sharper photo, higher contrast, and make sure the full code is visible with quiet zone (white margin) around it. Cropped, blurry, or heavily reflective codes are harder to read.

Which image formats are supported?

Common formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and AVIF. For best results use a clear, uncompressed screenshot or photo.

Does camera scanning work on all devices?

Most modern browsers on Android, iOS, and desktop support camera access. If blocked, allow camera permission or choose an image file instead.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Decoding uses JavaScript on your device. Your files never leave your browser.
