What is the QR Code Scanner?
A browser QR scanner uses your camera to decode a code, or reads one out of an image file. Because the decoding happens on-device, you can see what a code contains before opening it — worth doing, since a QR code hides its destination by design.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app?
No. It runs in the browser and asks for camera permission only while you are scanning. Nothing is installed and no image is uploaded.
Is scanning an unknown QR code risky?
The scan itself is safe; following the link is where the risk sits. QR codes are opaque, which is why sticker-over-sticker scams work. Read the decoded URL here first and check the domain before you open it.
