Frequently asked questions

Does the tool upload my QR image?

No. The recovery workspace runs in your browser and does not send the image to Toolardo.

Can every damaged QR code be repaired?

No. Recovery depends on the remaining finder patterns, data and error-correction capacity. Some cases require manual reconstruction.

What is Reed–Solomon recovery?

It uses the error-correction data stored in a QR code to correct some errors and erasures.
