No, your privacy is our priority. All image processing happens locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. Once you close or refresh the page, all data is completely removed.
QR codes can contain various types of data including website URLs, plain text, contact information (vCard), WiFi credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, calendar events, and geographic coordinates. Our decoder automatically identifies and displays the content type.
Common reasons include: poor image quality or resolution, insufficient lighting or contrast, partial QR code visibility, damaged or corrupted QR code, or non-standard QR code format. Try capturing a clearer image with better lighting and ensure the entire QR code is visible.
