Link & text QR guide
Create QR codes for links and plain text sharing workflows.
How to decode QR code from image
Upload a QR image to extract text or URL quickly, then copy or open the decoded result.
Best input quality
- Use clear images with visible QR boundaries.
- Avoid screenshots with heavy blur, glare, or perspective distortion.
- Prefer original image files over heavily compressed reposts.
Practical flow
- Switch to Decode mode and upload QR image.
- Wait for decoded content to appear in the result panel.
- Review whether the payload is a URL, Wi-Fi string, or plain text before opening it.
- Copy text result or open decoded URL directly.
Example
Input: A QR image screenshot from chat containing an event registration URL.
Action: Upload image in Decode mode and parse content automatically.
Output: Decoded URL can be opened in a new tab and copied for verification.
Decode tips
- Crop out unrelated background if the image contains multiple visual elements.
- Treat unknown decoded URLs cautiously and verify the destination before sharing.
- If decoding fails, try the original image instead of a compressed chat preview.
FAQ
Can this decoder parse multiple QR codes in one image?
Current MVP focuses on single QR extraction per upload.
Why does decoding fail on some screenshots?
Low contrast, motion blur, or partial occlusion can prevent reliable detection.
Will decoded links open automatically?
No automatic redirect. You can choose to open links manually for safer verification.
Can I decode non-URL text payloads?
Yes. Plain text, Wi-Fi payloads, and other text-based QR data are shown as raw decoded content.
