Free QR Code Scanner

Is this QR code scanner free?

Yes. Upload any QR code image and decode it for free, instantly, with no signup required.

Do I need my camera or a phone to use this?

No. This decodes an image file you already have - a screenshot, a photo, a saved image - directly in your browser. No camera needed.

Is it safe to open the link a QR code decodes to?

If the decoded content is a URL, we check it against Google Safe Browsing (the same database Chrome uses) before showing it as a link, so you know before you click.

Does this upload my image to a server?

The decoding itself happens entirely in your browser - the image never leaves your device. Only the decoded link, if there is one, is sent off to be checked for safety.

What kinds of QR codes can this decode?

Any standard QR code - URLs, WiFi logins, vCards, plain text, event invites, and more. Whatever is encoded, you'll see the raw decoded content.
