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.
QR Code Reader
This QR code reader extracts the text or URL stored in a QR code from an image or camera input. It helps you inspect QR codes before opening links, verify printed materials, and check screenshots or design exports before publishing them.
When it helps
- Read QR codes from images: Decode PNG, JPEG, or screenshot files that contain QR codes.
- Verify campaign links: Confirm that a QR code points to the expected URL before printing.
- Check suspicious codes: Inspect the raw URL before opening it in a browser.
If scanning fails
QR codes can fail when the image is blurry, too small, low contrast, cropped, or missing quiet-zone margin. Try a sharper image, increase the displayed size, and make sure the whole QR code is visible.
