Decoding images, explained
What image formats can I decode?
Any common image your browser can open — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and more. Screenshots work perfectly.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read locally in your browser and decoded on your device — it never leaves your computer.
It says no code was found — why?
The code may be blurry, cropped, angled or too small in the picture. Crop tightly around the QR code, use a sharper image, and make sure the whole code is visible.
Can I decode a code inside a photo or poster?
Yes, as long as the code is reasonably clear and flat-on. If it fails, crop the photo so the code fills most of the frame and try again.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — upload from your camera roll or take a photo. To scan a code in front of you live, use the Scanner instead.
