Frequently asked questions
How do I scan a QR code on my own phone screen?
Take a screenshot, then add it here. Nothing is uploaded.
Is it safe to open QR code links?
Check the address first. Scam QR codes often use look-alike domains, which is why the link's domain is shown separately.
Is the QR Code Scanner free?
Yes. The QR Code Scanner is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the QR Code Scanner is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The QR Code Scanner works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
