QR code recognition (PixPix)

Can it be scanned using a camera?

No, it can only read data from the image files you provide. This is a deliberate choice: by not using a camera, there’s no need to request permission, and the images don’t have to be sent anywhere; everything happens locally. Whether you scan a code on a physical object, take a photo, or capture a screenshot and drag it in, the result will be the same.

What kind of chart is easy to understand?

Screenshots, photographs, or rephotographed posters shared by others are all acceptable. You can use three methods: dragging and dropping, pasting, or selecting files. The system will identify any text or website addresses; if they turn out to be links, they will be converted into clickable elements, and you can also copy them with just one click.

By the way, here’s a safe way to use it.

QR codes do not display the target address; precisely for this reason, they are often used in phishing attempts. Posting a QR code over a real address on posters or distributing images that prompt users to “scan the code to claim something” are common tactics. It is much safer to use tools to decode the address and check the domain name before deciding whether to click on it, rather than simply using one’s phone to scan the code directly. This potential use of QR codes has been greatly underestimated.
