¿Qué hace QR Code Scanner?
QR Code Scanner permite inspeccionar datos directamente en el navegador y explica con claridad el resultado y sus límites. Capacidades verificadas: Image-based QR scan, Normal and inverted codes, No camera permission, Local decoding.
Image scanning avoids camera permission
Use this page when the QR code already exists in a screenshot or file. A live camera scanner is faster for printed codes but requires camera permission and a separate privacy decision.
¿Cómo se utiliza?
- Choose a local image that contains one clear QR code.
- Select Scan QR code; the page checks normal and inverted pixels without requesting camera access.
- Read and copy the exact payload before deciding whether to open a decoded URL.
Ejemplo real de entrada y salida

Entrada
PNG image containing a QR code for https://kitlumi.com/Salida

Errores frecuentes y soluciones
| Síntoma | Causa probable | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| No QR code was found. | The image is blurred, too small, cropped through the quiet zone, low contrast, or heavily distorted. | Use a sharper image with the full code and clear light margin visible. |
| The result is a suspicious or unexpected link. | A QR code can encode any text and does not authenticate its creator. | Inspect the complete hostname and scheme; do not open or sign in through an untrusted destination. |

QR Scanner — FAQ
Does the QR Scanner upload my input?
No. Processing runs in the current browser tab, and the page does not send tool input to a KitLumi processing endpoint.
What input does the QR Scanner accept?
It accepts a local JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF image containing a QR code. The workspace checks the input and reports malformed or unsupported values before it produces a result.
What does the QR Scanner produce?
It produces the exact decoded QR payload and detected QR version. Copy and download controls appear when the output format supports them.
What limitation should I know?
Treat decoded links as untrusted until you inspect their destination.
