QR tools

QR Reader (Camera)

Scan QR codes using your device camera directly in the browser.
The camera feed is processed locally without AI analysis or server-side handling, allowing you to read QR content quickly and privately.

If camera access is unavailable, you can upload an image containing a QR code
and decode it locally in the same way. Scanned results are displayed instantly
and can be copied with a single click, without saving any history or data.

All scanning and decoding operations are performed entirely on your device.
No images, camera streams, or decoded contents are uploaded to any server, making this tool suitable for secure and privacy-conscious use.

If the camera isn’t available, upload an image that contains a QR code to scan it locally.

Start the camera to begin scanning.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to allow camera access?

Yes, to scan directly from the camera. You can also upload an image if you prefer not to grant access.

Does it work offline?

Decoding runs in the browser. With camera permission already granted, scans continue to work even without a network connection.

What if multiple codes appear?

The first detected code is returned. For reliable results, keep a single code clearly in view.

Notes

Notes & limitations

Work stays in your browser
Inputs and outputs remain local. Closing the tab or clearing cache will remove any temporary state.
Validate critical data
Results are helper outputs—double-check them before sending to production systems or sharing externally.
Large payloads depend on your device
Very large text or files can feel slow in some browsers. Use a desktop environment for heavy workloads.
