Results

Point your camera at a QR code, or choose an image.

Scanning happens on your device with your browser's built-in detector. Video never leaves your phone or computer.

Your files are processed entirely in your browser using built-in web technologies. They are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the page clears them from memory.

How to use the QR Code Scanner

  1. Tap “Scan with camera” and allow camera access — or choose an image containing a QR code.
  2. Hold the code inside the frame until it's read.
  3. Copy the result, or check and open the link.

What does this tool do?

Handy for reading a QR code in a screenshot or on your laptop, where a phone camera can't help. The scanner uses the BarcodeDetector built into Chrome, Edge and Android browsers; on iPhone the Camera app reads QR codes natively.

The camera feed is analysed on your device and is never recorded or uploaded. Always check a link before opening it — QR codes can point to any site.

Why use it?

  • Camera or image upload.
  • Nothing uploaded.
  • Shows the link before opening.
