About the QR Code Reader

Decode a QR code from a screenshot, photo or document — or scan one live with your device camera. The decoded content is shown as text first, so you can check where a link really goes before opening it, which helps protect against “quishing” (QR phishing).

How to use it

  1. Upload an image containing a QR code, or start the camera.
  2. Wait for the code to be detected.
  3. Copy the content or open the link after checking it.

Good to know

  • Camera access requires HTTPS and your permission; the video stays on your device.
  • Blurry, tiny or heavily stylized codes may not decode — crop closer or use a sharper photo.

Frequently asked questions

Can it read barcodes?

This reader focuses on QR codes. One-dimensional barcodes are not decoded.

Is the camera stream uploaded?

No. Frames are analysed locally with the jsQR library.
