1. How can I scan QR codes from my camera or an uploaded image here?

  1. Camera mode: Allow camera access and position the QR code within the frame. The result appears automatically when detected.
  2. Upload mode: Drag & drop an image onto the drop zone or click to select a file (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF).
  3. Use Copy to copy the decoded text, or Open to open URLs in a new tab. Works with tel:, mailto:, and other schemes.

2. How does this QR reader decode barcodes locally in my browser?

Uses jsQR library to detect and decode QR codes from video frames or images.

Camera mode continuously scans each frame until a QR code is found, then stops.

Upload mode analyzes the image once and extracts the encoded content.
