How to stay safe with QR codes
- Check the domain name before opening a link, especially from stickers in public places.
- Be careful with codes on parking meters and posters, where fake stickers are sometimes placed over the real code.
- Do not enter passwords or payment details on a page you reached from an unknown code.
- A QR code cannot harm your phone by itself; the risk is the page or action it leads to.
Frequently asked questions
Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot or photo?
Yes. Upload the image, drag it onto the box or paste it with Ctrl+V. The scanner tries several sizes, so screenshots and phone photos both work.
Is it safe to scan QR codes online?
Scanning itself is safe, and this page never opens links automatically. You see the full content first and decide whether to open it.
Why does the camera not start?
Your browser needs permission to use the camera. Check the camera icon in the address bar, close other apps that use the camera, and reload the page.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Decoding happens in your browser, so images and camera frames stay on your device.
Can it read barcodes?
This scanner reads QR codes. Standard product barcodes such as EAN or UPC are not supported on this page.
