Scan a QR code with your camera or an image
Point your camera at a QR code, or upload a photo or screenshot that contains one — either way, the code is decoded instantly and locally in your browser.
If the result is a link, you can open it directly; otherwise copy the decoded text with one click.
How to scan a QR code
- Press "Scan with camera" and allow camera access, or drop an image below.
- Hold the QR code steady in view of the camera.
- The decoded text or link appears as soon as it's found.
Frequently asked questions
Is the camera feed or image uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding happens locally in your browser — the video frames and any image you upload are processed on your device and never sent to a server.
Why won't my camera start?
Your browser needs permission to use the camera — check for a permission prompt or your browser's site settings. The camera also requires a secure (HTTPS) connection, which this site uses.
Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot or saved photo?
Yes — skip the camera and drop an image file into the upload box instead. It works the same way on a photo of a printed QR code or a screenshot.
