QR Code Scanner
Upload an image or use your camera to scan a QR code, then view the decoded text or open the link — free, private, and processed entirely in your browser.
About the QR Code Scanner
Our free online QR code scanner decodes QR codes from an uploaded image or straight from your device's camera — no app install required. It reads the matrix of black and white modules and reconstructs the original text, link, or data instantly.
Everything happens locally on your device: the camera stream and any uploaded image are decoded directly in your browser's memory and are never sent over the network, uploaded, or saved anywhere.

Drop in an image file, or point your camera at the code and hold steady while it scans.
Step 3

Read the decoded text, click "Open Link" for URLs, or copy the result to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my camera feed private?
Yes. The webcam video stream is processed entirely inside your browser's local memory. We do not transmit or save any images or video streams.
What formats can be scanned?
We support all standard QR code matrices from any digital or printed source — screenshots, photos, printed flyers, and more.
What if my image doesn't decode?
Make sure the QR code is clear, well-lit, and not cropped or blurry. Try moving closer or improving the lighting if you're using the camera.
Does it cost money?
No. The QR code scanner is 100% free to use, with no registration or account required.
