Questions about QR Reader
How do I read a QR code from a screenshot?
Press Ctrl + V on this page to paste it from the clipboard, or drop the image file. The text or link appears at once.
How can I tell if a QR code is safe?
Read the full address before visiting it. This page shows it in full, and warns when a domain only looks like a familiar one, for example by mixing letters from different alphabets.
Which codes can it read?
Any standard QR code, versions 1 to 40, including rotated, inverted, low-contrast and partly damaged ones. Micro QR and other barcodes are reported rather than read.
Is the image uploaded?
No. This page is served with a security policy that forbids it from making any network request, so the browser itself refuses to send your image anywhere. You can watch your browser's network tab stay empty, or switch your connection off and carry on.
