Questions

Why don't you open the link automatically?

Because that's how QR scams work. We show you the text first; you decide.

Does it work on codes from screenshots?

Yes — any photo or screenshot of a QR code works. Keep it sharp and unrotated.

Is my camera feed uploaded?

No, the decoding runs in your browser.

🔒 Decoded in your browser or on your device — nothing is uploaded or stored.
