Reading safely

  • Shown first, opened only by you: The content is shown as text. A link opens only when you click Open, in a new tab, and only web links (http and https) can be opened at all.
  • Photos and screenshots: Choose an image, drop it or paste a screenshot. A sharp, straight picture with some white around the code reads best.
  • On this device: Your browser's built-in reader is used where it has one; otherwise a decoder that comes with this page. The image is never sent anywhere.
