Process QR Codes in Just a Few Steps

Instantly capture and convert QR-related documents into any structured format for easier integration. Always get the best results with automatic edge detection for more accurate processing.
Send Your Documents
Take a picture of your document containing a QR code and upload it to our platform in any of these formats: 
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xlsx, .heic, .webp, and more.
Extract Data
As soon as a picture or PDF of your document has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file and the QR code from the document is extracted.
Receive Formatted Output
The Klippa Parser then takes the TXT and converts it into structured data. Thanks to machine learning, you can have your data in a structured format like JSON, XML, or CSV.

After transforming your data into a structured format, you can then forward it to your software of choice for further processing.
