Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions for users and search assistants

Why won't my camera open?

Use HTTPS or localhost and allow camera permission in your browser. Check that another application is not using the camera. You can also upload or paste an image.

Why can't the QR code be read?

Use a sharp image showing the entire QR code with a clear border. Improve lighting, avoid reflections, or crop a large screenshot closer to the code. Damaged or very small codes may not be recoverable. The reader returns one QR code at a time.

What if the paste button is unavailable?

Some browsers restrict clipboard access. Click the paste area and press Ctrl+V on Windows or Command+V on Mac, or select an image file instead.
