How to extract the QR code from an image? The two images below are provided as references, as I have many images, and the positions of the QR codes vary. Thank you, everyone

The blue Channel seems to be promising.

Load as a Selection, Select > Inverse, Quick Mask Mode, Threshold 245, Filter > Other > Minimum, Filter > Other > Maximum, exit Quick Mask Mode, Image > Crop.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this should be recorded in an Action etc.

Extract to what? What output are you looking for, is it a set of images with just the QR code and everything else trimmed away, or is it a text file with a list of URLs, or something else ?

Keep only the QR code image and crop out the rest.

Great job, I was looking for a method to isolate the code but it kept on picking up the text.

@w30290083o9nn – What file format are the originals?

How many images is "many"?

Is there a way to manually sort the images into groups where the QR code is in a similar approximate vertical position? The crop automation can then work out the QR code from the surrounding areas once initial processing is performed based on the rough vertical location.
