Scan QR codes online, without an app

This free QR code scanner works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. Use the live camera to scan a code in front of you, or upload a screenshot, photo or saved image when the QR code is already on your screen. Decoding uses the open-source ZXing engine compiled to WebAssembly, plus your browser’s built-in barcode detector where available, so it is fast and accurate even with small, rotated, blurry or inverted (light-on-dark) codes.

Understands what the QR code contains

  • Links: shows the real domain before you open it and warns about short links, look-alike (punycode) domains, raw IP addresses and unencrypted http links.
  • WiFi: shows the network name, password and security type, with one-click password copy.
  • Contacts (vCard and MeCard): lists name, phone, email, company and address and lets you save a .vcf file.
  • Calendar events: shows title, time and place and lets you add it with an .ics file.
  • Email, SMS, phone and map locations: open straight in the right app.
  • Crypto payments: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and more, with address and amount.
  • Plain text: anything else, ready to copy.

Several codes at once and a scan history

An image can contain many QR codes: each one is found, numbered and outlined. Continuous mode keeps the camera running so you can scan code after code, with an optional beep and vibration. Every scan is saved to a history in your browser that you can search again, copy, delete or export as a CSV file.

Safe and private

Nothing is uploaded. The camera video and your images are processed entirely on your device, and the history never leaves your browser. Links are never opened automatically: you always see the domain first. Be careful with QR codes stuck on parking meters, posters or menus, as fake codes are sometimes placed over real ones.

Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a QR code on my computer?
Choose Camera to use your webcam, or choose Image and drop, paste (Ctrl+V) or select a screenshot that contains the QR code.
How do I scan a QR code from a screenshot or photo?
Choose Image and upload the file. Every QR code in the image is detected, outlined and decoded.
Is it safe to open links from QR codes?
The scanner shows the real website first and warns about short links, look-alike domains, IP addresses and unencrypted links. Links only open when you click twice.
Can it read WiFi QR codes?
Yes. It shows the network name, password and security type and lets you copy the password.
Why does my camera not start?
Allow camera access when your browser asks. The camera needs a secure (https) page, and it cannot be used by another app at the same time.
Are my images or scans uploaded?
No. Decoding runs on your device and the history is stored only in your browser.
Can it scan several QR codes in one image?
Yes, up to 30 codes per image, each numbered on the preview.
