About the QR Code Scanner
Decoding from an image is the part phone camera apps cannot do — useful when someone sends you a screenshot of a code rather than the link itself. Scanning happens in your browser and camera access is only requested when you start a scan. Always read the decoded content before opening it: malicious QR codes rely on people scanning and tapping without looking at the destination.
Frequently asked questions
Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot?
Yes — upload the image and it is decoded without needing a camera.
Does it need an app?
No. It runs in your browser on both phone and desktop.
Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes?
Scanning is safe; acting on the result may not be. Always read the decoded URL before opening it.
