QR scanner and AI FAQs

Can I scan without a camera?

Yes. Upload a clear image of the QR code or barcode. A readable, well-lit image usually works best.

Can Gemini identify every product barcode?

No. A barcode usually contains an identifier. Product names, prices and other details require a reliable product database and may not be available for every item.

Is every scanned QR link safe?

No. Check the full domain and expected destination before opening a link. An AI explanation is not a security guarantee.

Is my scan automatically sent to AI?

No. Scanning happens in the browser. The decoded result is sent to Qrifo's AI endpoint only when you choose Explain with AI. Avoid sharing passwords or sensitive personal data.
