Why You Don't Need a QR Scanner App
Traditional QR scanner apps require installation, take up storage space, and often send your scans to remote servers. Our browser‑based QR scanner eliminates all of that. It runs locally using JavaScript and the WebRTC API, so your scans are never uploaded anywhere. You get the same functionality — real‑time scanning, image upload, history — without any app. Just open the webpage, and you're ready to scan QR codes instantly.
