FAQ
QR code scanner questions
Is the image uploaded?
No. Camera frames and images are read in your browser and never leave your device.
Why does my browser ask for the camera?
Browsers ask once per site before any page can use the camera. You can scan an image instead if you prefer not to allow it.
Can it tell me if a QR code is safe?
It shows the full destination and flags common tricks: shortened links, unencrypted http, raw IP addresses, look-alike domains, and hidden usernames. It cannot vouch for the website itself.
