Frequently Asked Questions

Can I scan a blurry or small QR code from an image?
QRScan.ph can read many low-quality images because QR codes include built-in error correction. For best results, use the clearest image available. Cropping closer to the QR code before uploading can also help.
What image formats does QRScan.ph support?
QRScan.ph accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files. Screenshots from any device and photos taken with any camera are all supported.
Is my uploaded image stored on QRScan.ph servers?
No. QRScan.ph processes your image entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded to any server and is removed from memory as soon as scanning is complete.
Can I scan multiple QR codes from one image?
QRScan.ph is designed to detect the most prominent QR code in an image. If your image contains multiple QR codes, try cropping it to focus on one code at a time.
Does this work on mobile?
