Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I scan a QR code from an image on my phone?

Open Credica Image QR Scanner in your mobile browser, tap "Upload or Paste Image", and select the QR picture from your phone gallery. The scanner will decode it instantly.

Is my scanned QR image uploaded to any server?

No. The entire decoding process runs inside your local browser memory using HTML5 canvas JavaScript APIs. No data is stored, transmitted, or logged.
