How to Scan a QR Code

Scanning with your phone camera

Most modern iPhones and Android phones can scan QR codes directly from the built-in camera app. Open the camera, point it at the QR code, and a notification or link appears on the screen. Tap it to perform the encoded action — open a website, join a Wi-Fi network, save a contact, and so on. You do not need a separate app on most current devices.

Scanning from an image file

If you have a photo or screenshot containing a QR code, you can decode it with Veyqora's scanner. Open the QR scanner, switch to the Upload image tab, and select a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF file. The image is decoded locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Using Veyqora's camera scanner

Veyqora also includes a live camera scanner. Open the scanner, switch to the Use camera tab, and press Start camera. Point your camera at a QR code and Veyqora decodes it in real time. Camera frames are processed only on your device while the scanner is active — no video is recorded or uploaded.

What to do if scanning fails

• • Make sure the code is well-lit and in focus.
• • Move closer or farther away — some codes need distance to be read.
• • Clean the camera lens if it is smudged.
• • If the code is printed, check for damage, glare, or curvature.
• • Try an image-based scan: take a photo and upload it to the scanner.

Safety before opening links

When you scan a QR code that contains a URL, review the link before opening it. Veyqora's scanner shows the full URL and requires you to press Open link — it never redirects automatically. Be cautious with codes in public places that you did not create, and avoid entering personal information on unfamiliar sites.
