Tips & Tricks

✓For best results, use a clear, well-lit, undistorted image of the QR code.
✓If scanning fails on a full photo, try cropping the image tightly around just the QR code.
✓Always verify a decoded URL before opening it — QR codes can be used to hide malicious links.
✓Screenshots work just as well as photos, so you can scan QR codes shared in chats or emails.
