What is QR Reader?
Decode QR codes from image files. Upload or drop a picture containing a QR code and the tool reads the embedded text — a URL, Wi-Fi details, contact card or any text — right in your browser. If it's a link, you can open it directly.
How QR Reader works
The image is drawn to a canvas and its pixels are scanned by a QR-decoding library to find and read the code.
For best results, use a clear, well-cropped image where the QR code is in focus and not skewed.
Common uses
- Decode a QR code from a screenshot
- Read a QR from a saved image
- Recover the URL or text in a QR code
- Scan QR codes without a phone
Frequently asked questions
Can it scan from my camera?
This tool decodes from an uploaded image. Take a photo of the code, then upload it.
Why can't it read my image?
Blurry, skewed or low-contrast images can fail. Use a clear, straight, well-cropped picture.
Is the image uploaded?
No — decoding happens entirely in your browser.
