Question 1

What image formats can I scan?

Accepted Answer

Anything your browser can draw to a canvas: JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, HEIC (Chrome and Safari), even SVG screenshots. If it renders, it scans.

Question 2

The scan says no QR found but I can see one — what now?

Accepted Answer

Usually blur or glare. Try cropping tightly around the code, avoid flash reflections, and make sure the code is not physically damaged. A screenshot of the code decodes perfectly — that is the fastest check that the code itself is valid.

Question 3

Is it safe to scan payment QR codes here?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the image never leaves your device, so the UPI ID, payee name and amount are shown only to you. Read the payee name carefully before paying anywhere; a QR can only pre-fill a payment, it cannot pull money from you.

Question 4

Does it read barcodes too?

Accepted Answer

This scanner reads QR codes (the square ones). The 1D retail barcodes — EAN, UPC, Code 128 and friends — need a different decoder; use the Generate barcode tool to create those, or a store's till scanner to read them.
