About QR Code Reader

Not every QR code is in front of your camera — sometimes it's a screenshot, a saved image, or a code on your own screen. This free QR reader decodes codes from an uploaded image or your camera and instantly shows what's inside: a URL, text, WiFi login or contact details. It runs in your browser, so the images you scan stay on your device.
