Not sure if this screenshot does the observation any justice, probably not, but, unfortunately FastStone Pin-To-Screen, (left), is brighter and clearer than ShareX, (right). Quite noticeable on Display Port monitor. Just an observation but, I use it a lot for Affinity cleanup comparisons.

The QR Code Tool from ShareX is a simple scanner/generator.
Furthermore, I can't find a secure site of my own that will throw up a QR Code for verification...,
however, if ShareX was able to decipher it, which I doubt, that would be a huge security risk!!!
Sorry I couldn't help!
