QR Code Scanner
Scan QR codes from image files locally. Camera scanning can be added on top of this same client-only page.
Upload an image containing a QR code to decode it in this browser.
Camera scanning requires explicit browser permission. This first version avoids opening the camera automatically.
How qr code scanner works
Allow camera access or upload an image, then Toolkit looks for a QR code and shows the decoded content.
Use the result carefully, especially when the QR code contains a link, payment address, or login-related content.

FAQs
Why is my QR code not scanning?
Try better lighting, a sharper image, more contrast, or moving the camera farther from the code.
Is it safe to open scanned links?
Review the URL first. QR codes can point to phishing pages or unexpected downloads.
Can I scan from a screenshot?
Yes, if the screenshot is clear enough and the QR code is not too small.
Why does the browser ask for camera access?
Camera scanning requires permission from your browser and operating system.
