The secret is encoded straight into the code — everything stays in your browser, but treat the finished QR like a password.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, direct answers to common questions about generating and deploying QR codes.
Yes! Our browser-based QR code scanner works on any modern phone or computer without installing anything. Just allow camera access when prompted and point your camera at the code.
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone (iOS 14.3+) and in Chrome/Firefox on any Android or desktop device. Your iPhone's built-in Camera app can also scan QR codes natively - just open the Camera, point it at the code, and tap the notification.
Never. The scanner runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your camera feed is processed locally on your device and is never sent to our servers. We have no ability to see what your camera captures.
Yes. Use the 'Upload Image' option to decode a QR code from an image file saved on your device. The scanner will find and decode any QR code present in the image.
Common causes: 1) Camera permission was denied - click the camera icon in your browser's address bar to allow it. 2) The QR code is damaged, too small, or low contrast - try getting closer or improving lighting. 3) Your browser doesn't support WebRTC - try Chrome or Firefox. 4) The code may be a barcode (1D), not a QR code - our scanner only reads 2D QR codes.
A QR code generator creates QR codes from data you provide (URLs, text, contact info, etc.). A QR code scanner reads existing QR codes and shows you the information they contain. This page is a scanner. To create new QR codes, use our free QR code generator on the home page.
