There are different ways to scan a QR code on Android devices. You can use the Google Lens app, which is installed by default on many Android devices. Alternatively, you can use the native Camera app, which often includes a QR code scanning feature. On some devices, this option is available in the notification panel. You can also use a web-based QR code scanner, such as our online tool, to upload images or scan codes directly with your device’s camera.

Once you see a QR code -- whether as payment gateways, tourist information, videos, or any other QR code type - use your device camera to capture the QR code. Simply point the camera at the QR code to be scanned and you’re done. The first time you scan a QR code with us you be asked to give our QR code scanner permission to access the camera on your device, but after that, it’s straight down to business every time.

You can scan a QR code on iPhone by using your native Camera app. Open the Camera app on your iPhone from the home screen or lock screen, point it towards the QR code, and ensure it fits properly inside the frame. The device will recognize the code and provide the contained information. Alternatively, you can scan a QR code from images using our online QR code scanner by uploading the images and acquiring the stored information.
