QR Code Reader
Free QR code reader and scanner. Decode a QR code from an uploaded image or screenshot, or scan one live with your camera — instantly. Runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
Read & decode any QR code
Upload a photo or screenshot of a QR code, or point your device’s camera at one, and instantly see what it contains — a link, Wi-Fi login, contact, or any text. It all runs in your browser, so your images and camera feed are never uploaded.
Is the camera scan private?
Completely. The video stream is processed live on your device and never recorded or sent anywhere. Camera access needs a secure (https) connection, which this site uses.
It can’t read my QR code — why?
Make sure the whole code is visible, in focus, and well lit. For photos, crop close to the code and avoid glare. Very low-resolution images can be hard to decode.
