What is QR Code Reader

How to use
- Click the upload area or drag and drop an image containing a QR code.
- The code decodes automatically as soon as the image loads.
- Read the extracted text or URL in the result box.
- Click Copy to copy it, or Open if it is a link.
When to use it
Got a screenshot of a QR code from a poster, an email, or another app and no phone camera handy to scan it? Drop the image here and read exactly what it points to before you click anything, which also helps you spot a suspicious link before opening it.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of QR codes can this tool read?
Any standard QR code: URLs, plain text, phone numbers, emails, Wi-Fi credentials, vCard contacts, and more. It follows the same format used by phone camera scanners.
Why does it say no QR code was found?
The image may be too blurry, too small, or cropped in a way that cuts off part of the code. Try a clearer or higher-resolution screenshot.
Is the image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire decoding process runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device.
Can I read a QR code straight from my phone camera?
Take a screenshot or photo of the QR code first, then upload that image here. This tool works with image files, not a live camera feed.
