Click to upload or drop a QR code image
PNG, JPG, WebP or a screenshot — decoded in your browser, never uploaded. You can also paste an image.About this tool
This free QR code scanner reads a QR code straight from an image or screenshot — no phone camera needed. It's perfect on a desktop or laptop, where there's no built-in scanner: just upload the picture (or paste a screenshot) and the tool decodes the QR code and shows you the link or text inside.
Everything runs in your browser — the image is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private.
