How do people scan a qrcode on an image in macos? I would like to screenshot with SHIFT+CMD+4 to capture a qrcode image, then get the url. I don't like to download a 3rd party app.

MacOS should auto-detect QR codes in images afaik. Should work on screenshots as well.

That's what I thought too, does it work for you on macos 15.5?

Huh, I swear it worked before. Weird. I'm on 15.5 as well. AirDropping to my phone and opening the image detects the QR code immediately
