Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a QR code online?
Open Semacode in your browser and either point your camera at the code or upload an image of it. It decodes the content on the spot.
Is an online scanner safe?
Yes – with Semacode the decoding happens locally in your browser, and it shows you the destination before you open it, so you can check a link first.
Can I scan from a picture, not just live?
Yes. Upload a photo, screenshot or saved image and it reads the code from the file.
Does it cost anything?
No, reading a code is free and needs no signup.
