QR Code Reader decodes QR codes from uploaded images using local browser processing. It is useful for checking printed codes, screenshots, and campaign assets safely.
Drop an image here, click to browse, or paste from clipboard
PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF supported
Yes. The tool is free and runs directly in your browser with no account required.
No. The image is decoded locally in your browser using the jsQR library, loaded on demand — the image file never leaves your device.
Three ways: drag and drop an image file onto the drop zone, click it to browse and select a file, or paste an image directly from your clipboard (Ctrl/Cmd+V).
You'll see a 'No QR code found in this image' message. Try a clearer photo with better lighting, less blur, or a tighter crop around just the QR code itself.
No — if the decoded content is a URL, it's shown as a clickable link that you choose whether to open, rather than being auto-navigated to for safety.
PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF — any format your browser can natively decode as an <img> element.
Scanning locally is safer than a random online scanner because your image isn't uploaded anywhere, but always inspect the decoded URL or text carefully before visiting a link or acting on the content.
Yes — click 'Copy text' after a successful scan to copy the exact decoded content to your clipboard.
