QR Code Scanner — frequently asked questions
Is the camera feed uploaded anywhere?+
No. The video never leaves your device — each frame is scanned locally in your browser and immediately discarded.
What kinds of QR codes does it read?+
Any standard QR code — a URL, plain text, Wi-Fi credentials, an email address, or a phone number — and it shows the right action for each.
Why didn't it find a code in my photo?+
The code needs to be reasonably sharp and not too small in the frame. Crop the photo closer to the code and try again, or use the camera option instead.
Do you upload my files to a server?+
No — every tool here processes your files entirely on your device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. The only exception is the AI tools, which send the extracted text (not the file) to Claude to do their work.
Is there a file size limit?+
There's no artificial limit we impose, but since processing happens in your browser, very large files (500+ MB or 1,000+ pages) are limited by your device's memory rather than by us.
