About the QR Code Scanner

The QR Code Scanner reads QR codes using your camera or from an image you upload. It shows the decoded text and, if it is a web link, offers a button to open it.

Decoding happens in your browser: video frames or the image are analysed locally and nothing is sent to a server. QR codes can contain links, text, Wi-Fi details and contact cards. Scanning a code from an unknown source can lead to phishing or malicious websites, so read the decoded address before opening it.

How to use it

Choose Use camera and allow camera access, or choose Upload image.
Point the camera at the code, or select the image file.
Read the decoded result.
Use Copy to copy the text, or open a link if you trust it.

Tips and good to know

Good lighting and a steady hand help.
Crop screenshots so the code fills most of the image.
Do not scan codes on stickers placed over other codes.
