Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG/JPEG, GIF, and WebP are all supported. The image just needs to contain a clearly visible QR code.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser using the jsQR JavaScript library. Your image never leaves your device.
Why is my QR code not detected?
Ensure the QR code is well-lit, not blurry, and takes up a reasonable portion of the image. Heavily distorted or partially obscured codes may fail to decode.
