Frequently Asked Questions

Are QR code images uploaded?

No. Image and camera scanning runs in your browser. Convertr does not receive or store the image or decoded QR code value.

Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot?

Yes. Upload, paste, or drag a screenshot onto the scanner and it will try to decode the QR code locally.

Does the scanner open decoded URLs automatically?

No. Decoded URLs are shown as text so you can inspect them before copying or opening them yourself.

QR Code Scanner

Decode a QR code from a camera frame or local image and display its payload without opening it automatically.

Input
A camera image or local image containing a QR code.
Output
The decoded payload type and text when recognized.
Real limitations
Recognition depends on camera support, focus, contrast, crop, damage, and decoder capability; decoded links can still be malicious.
Privacy and data handling
a camera image or local image containing a QR code is processed in this browser tab. Convertr does not receive or store it; closing or reloading the page clears the working state unless the tool explicitly offers a local download.

How to use this tool

  1. Provide a camera image or local image containing a QR code in the tool controls.
  2. Choose the settings that affect the decoded payload type and text when recognized, then run the tool.
  3. Review the decoded payload type and text when recognized before copying or downloading it.

Common failure modes

Permission denial, blur, glare, a cropped finder pattern, or an unsupported/damaged symbol can produce no result.

Useful example

Scan a Wi-Fi QR from a printed setup sheet to inspect the network payload before using it.
