The QR Code Scanner reads any QR code and shows you what it contains. Scan a code live with your device camera, or upload (or paste) a screenshot or photo of a QR code and it is decoded instantly. It recognises links, Wi-Fi networks, contact cards, UPI payments, email, phone, and SMS, and lays the details out clearly.
Everything happens on your device — the camera feed and images are never uploaded anywhere — so it is private and works even on a slow connection. When the code is a link, you get a button to open it (only if you trust the source), and you can copy the raw content with one tap.
How to scan a QR code
- Choose “Scan with camera” and allow camera access, or “Upload image”.
- Point your camera at the QR code, or drop/paste/choose an image of one.
- Read the decoded details — link, Wi-Fi, contact, UPI, and more.
- Copy the content, or open the link if you trust the source.
Two ways to read a code
- Camera — scan a physical QR code live; it detects and decodes automatically.
- Image — upload, drag, or paste a screenshot or photo of a QR code.
- Smart results — links, Wi-Fi, contacts (vCard), UPI, email, phone, and SMS are parsed and labelled.
- Private — the decoding runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot or photo?
Yes. Switch to “Upload image” and drop, paste, or choose the picture. The QR code is found and decoded on your device — you do not need a camera.
Does the camera scanner need any app or permission?
No app — it runs in your browser. It does ask for camera permission the first time; if you deny it, you can still upload an image instead. Camera scanning needs a secure (https) page, which this site uses.
Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes here?
Reading a QR code just reveals its content — this tool never opens links automatically. It shows you the decoded text so you can decide whether to trust it before opening anything.
What kinds of QR codes can it read?
Links, plain text, Wi-Fi logins, contact cards (vCard), UPI payment codes, email, phone, and SMS codes are all recognised and shown with their details.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The camera feed and any images stay on your device — the QR code is decoded locally in your browser.
Is the QR code scanner free?
Yes — it is completely free, needs no sign-up, and works on phones and computers.
