QR Code Scanner — Free Online Tool
Scan QR codes with your camera or decode them from an image, privately in your browser.
About QR Code Scanner
The QR Code Scanner reads QR codes using your device camera or from an uploaded image, then shows the decoded content — a link, text, Wi-Fi details, or anything else encoded. Links become clickable so you can open them in one tap.
All decoding happens in your browser, so your camera frames and images never leave your device. It works on phones and laptops with no app to install.
How to Use QR Code Scanner
- Click Start Camera and allow camera access, or click Upload Image.
- Point the camera at a QR code (or pick an image with one).
- Read the decoded result.
- Click the link to open it, or copy the text.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I scan a QR code?
Click Start Camera and point your device camera at a QR code, or use Upload Image to decode a QR code from a saved picture. The decoded text or link appears instantly.
Does it need camera permission?
Yes, for live scanning the browser will ask for camera access. You can also skip the camera and upload an image instead.
Are images or camera frames uploaded?
No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser, so nothing is sent to a server.
Why won't the camera start?
Camera access requires HTTPS and your permission. If it's blocked, check the site permissions in your browser, or use the image upload option.
