Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan a QR code from a saved picture or file?
To scan a QR code from a saved picture, simply upload your image file (JPG, PNG, WebP) to our online decoder. The tool automatically processes the image data and extracts the embedded URL or text instantly. This method is perfect for decoding codes found in emails or documents.
Can I decode a QR code from a screenshot on my PC?
Yes, you can easily decode a QR code from a screenshot on PC or Mac. Capture the screen containing the code, save it as an image, and upload it here. Our browser-based scanner works without a camera, making it the ideal solution for desktop users browsing the web.
Is it safe to upload my QR code images to this tool?
Your privacy and security are our top priorities. We process your QR code images locally in your browser whenever possible or delete them from our servers immediately after the decoding process is complete. We do not store, share, or log any sensitive data from your uploaded files.

Why is my QR code image not scanning correctly?
If your image isn't scanning, ensure the QR code is clearly visible and not overly distorted. Blurry images or low-contrast captures can sometimes interfere with the decoding algorithm. Try cropping the image to focus specifically on the QR code or using a higher-resolution file for better results.
