QR Code Scanner

Scan a QR code with your device camera, or upload a screenshot or photo of one and decode it.

How to use the QR Code Scanner

  1. Choose camera scanning or upload an image containing a QR code.
  2. Allow camera access if you are scanning live.
  3. Read the decoded content before opening any link it contains.

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.
