We keep working on it

Badly damaged, but part of the structure survives. Register, submit – we notify you the moment we can recover it.

Frequently asked questions

Can you recover the content of an unreadable QR code?

Often yes. If the core structure — especially the three corner markers — survives, the content can be recovered. If too much is missing, it is physically gone, and we say so honestly.

How do I recover a QR code?

Upload a photo or screenshot. Semacode enhances contrast and sharpness, realigns the code and tries to decode it — all locally in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

Is recovery free?

Yes, in-browser recovery is free. Severely damaged codes can be sent in, and we'll notify you as soon as we can recover them.
