Scan a QR code with your camera or by uploading an image — free, instant, right in your browser.
This free QR code scanner reads any QR code either from an uploaded image or live through your device's camera — handy for checking where a QR code on a poster, menu, or package actually leads before you visit it, or for quickly pulling text, WiFi details, or a link out of a code someone sent you as a picture.
Both the camera feed and any uploaded image are analyzed locally in your browser using the jsQR library — nothing is recorded or sent to a server. If the decoded result looks like a web link, an "Open Link" button appears so you can visit it directly.

Yes — use the 'Upload Image' tab and choose any image file that contains a QR code, including a screenshot.
If the decoded text looks like a website URL, an 'Open Link' button appears so you can visit it directly and safely review it before clicking.
Yes — both the image upload and live camera scanning work on modern mobile browsers, and the camera defaults to the rear-facing camera for easier scanning.
