Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scanner safe to use?

Yes. Unlike many standalone apps, QRTRAC's browser-based scanner processes all data locally on your device. We do not store or transmit your camera feed or scanned data to any external servers.

Can I scan a QR code from a file or photo?

Yes. Simply click the "Upload" icon in the scanner interface to select an image from your computer or mobile device. Our engine will analyze the file and extract the QR data instantly.

Does it work on Android and iOS?

Absolutely. This tool works on any modern smartphone browser including Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. For the best experience on iPhone, we recommend using Safari.

What is a PWA scanner?

A Progressive Web App (PWA) allows you to "install" this website onto your home screen like a native app. Once installed, the QR scanner can work offline without an active internet connection.
