How to use QR Code Reader

  1. Upload a photo or screenshot that contains a QR code (or take one with your camera).

  2. The code is detected and decoded automatically.

  3. Copy the content, or open it directly if it's a link.

Frequently Asked Questions

The QR isn't detected — what can I do?

Use a sharper, better-lit image, and make sure the whole code is visible with some margin around it. Screenshots decode almost always; glossy or angled photos are harder.

Is the image uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding runs entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your device.

What kinds of QR content are recognized?

Links, plain text, WiFi credentials, phone numbers, SMS, email addresses and vCard contact cards — the type is labeled automatically.
