QR Code Scanner & Reader

Scan and decode QR codes from camera stream or image files securely in your browser.

How to Use QR Code Scanner & Reader

  1. Click "Start Camera" to scan a QR code live, or upload an image file containing one.
  2. Point your camera at the QR code (or the tool scans your uploaded image automatically).
  3. The decoded text or URL appears instantly - click it to open a link, or copy the raw text.

Key Features & Practical Use Cases

  • Scanning restaurant menus or check-in portals directly from your smartphone camera or an uploaded image.
  • Decoding web links, Wi-Fi details, or contact card info hidden inside raw QR codes.
  • Checking and extracting text or URLs from screenshots containing QR codes without having to use another device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with a screenshot instead of a live camera?

Yes - uploading an image file containing a QR code works just as well as live camera scanning; the tool detects and decodes the code from the image.

Is my camera feed sent to a server while scanning?

No - the camera feed is processed and decoded entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.

What happens if the QR code contains Wi-Fi credentials or a vCard?

The raw encoded data is shown as text - for special formats like Wi-Fi credentials or vCards, the decoded text follows that format's standard structure, which you can read directly.
