Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read a QR code from an image?
Upload a JPG, PNG, or GIF image containing a QR code. The tool detects and decodes the QR code, displaying the encoded data (URL, text, contact info, etc.). It handles QR codes at various angles and sizes within the image.
What types of data can be stored in a QR code?
URLs, plain text, email addresses (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), SMS messages, WiFi credentials, vCard contacts, calendar events, geographic coordinates, and app store links. The reader identifies the data type and offers appropriate actions.
Can the QR reader decode damaged or partial QR codes?
QR codes have built-in error correction: Level L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%). A QR code with Level H can be read even with 30% damage. The reader attempts all error correction levels. Severely damaged codes may not be readable.
How do I scan a QR code from my computer screen?
Take a screenshot of the QR code and upload it to the reader. Or use the screen capture option if available. The tool processes the image and extracts the QR data. This is useful for QR codes received in emails or on websites.
Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes?
Be cautious. QR codes can link to phishing sites, malware downloads, or trigger unwanted actions. The reader shows the decoded URL before opening it. Always verify the domain before visiting. Never scan QR codes from untrusted sources without checking first.
