Why scan QR from screenshot instead of camera?

Scanning from screenshots is useful when the QR code is already on your screen or shared as an image. Instead of switching devices or using another phone, you can decode it instantly by uploading or pasting the image.
This method is faster, more convenient, and works even when camera access is unavailable.

HOW TO USE

  1. Upload an image, drag & drop, or paste a screenshot
  2. Or click “Use Camera” to scan live QR codes
  3. Wait a moment while the QR is detected and decoded
  4. View results instantly (WiFi details or raw content)
  5. Copy the data or check link safety if needed
