Questions
Is it safe to open the link in a QR code?
Only if you trust where it goes. Scammers stick fake codes on parking meters, posters and emails that lead to look-alike sites (the US Federal Trade Commission warns about this). This scanner never opens anything by itself: it shows the full address and the real domain first, flags warning signs such as link shorteners or unencrypted http, and only offers Open for normal web links.
Which codes can it read?
QR and Micro QR, Data Matrix, Aztec and PDF417, plus the common barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF and Codabar. Wi-Fi codes, contacts (vCard and MECARD), calendar events, email, phone, SMS and map locations are recognised and laid out for you.
Why does the camera not start?
Your browser asks for permission the first time. If you chose Block, allow the camera in the site settings (the icon to the left of the address, or “aA” → Website Settings on iPhone) and press Start camera again. If another app is using the camera, close it first. You can always use the Image tab instead.
Can it read several codes at once?
Yes. In an image, every code is found and numbered on the picture. With the camera, each new code is added to the results as it comes into view.
Is the camera video or my image uploaded?
No. The camera picture and any image you add are read by a decoder that runs inside your browser (ZXing compiled to WebAssembly). Nothing is recorded, stored on a server or sent anywhere. After the page loads it even works offline.
