QR Code Scanner
Scan any QR code with your webcam or phone camera, right in your browser. No app to install, and the camera feed never leaves your device.
QR Code Scanner
Scan QR codes directly from your browser using your device's camera.
No App, No Tracking
Many free QR scanner apps ask for broad permissions and log what you scan. This one runs in your browser and decodes everything locally — nothing is uploaded.
Everything Stays Local
Your camera feed is read and decoded entirely in the browser. No image or video is ever sent to a server, so nothing you scan is stored or logged.
Instant Detection
Once you grant camera access, the scanner reads codes in real time — just point your camera at a QR code and it decodes automatically.
Reads Every QR Type
Decodes the content of any standard QR code — website links, plain text, Wi-Fi login details, contact cards, phone numbers, and more.
What a QR Code Can Contain
QR codes hold more than just website links. Depending on how they're created, your phone may offer to open a link, join a Wi-Fi network, or save a contact.
Website Links
The most common type — turns a printed code on a poster, menu, or package into a tappable link to a web page.
Wi-Fi Login
Stores a network name and password so guests can join your Wi-Fi by scanning, without typing anything.
Phone Numbers
A "tel:" code lets someone dial a number with one tap after scanning — handy on business cards and flyers.
Contact Cards
A vCard code holds a full contact — name, phone, email, and address — ready to save straight into your phone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does scanning happen on my device or a server?
Entirely on your device — the camera feed is decoded by JavaScript in your browser and never leaves it. No image or video is uploaded anywhere.
Why won't my camera activate?
Browsers require explicit camera permission, and it only works over HTTPS. If you previously denied access, re-enable it from the camera icon in the address bar and reload the page.
Can I scan a QR code from a saved image instead of the camera?
Yes — upload a photo or screenshot containing the QR code, and it will be decoded the same way as a live camera scan.
Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes?
Scanning itself is safe here — the tool shows you the decoded content (URL, Wi-Fi credentials, contact card) without acting on it. The risk is what you do next: check the revealed URL before visiting it, exactly as you would with a suspicious link.

About This Tool
A QR code gives you no visual clue where it leads, which is precisely what makes them useful for scams — a sticker placed over a legitimate code on a parking meter or payment terminal is a well-documented attack. This scanner decodes the code and shows you the result rather than opening it, so you can read the destination before deciding.
Decoding happens in your browser from the camera feed; no image or video frame is uploaded. Results that are not recognisable web links are displayed as plain text rather than as something clickable. For details on analytics and third-party ad requests, see our Privacy Policy.
