QR Code Reader — Scan QR from Image or Camera (Free)

Yes. Upload an image file containing a QR code and it is decoded instantly — you do not need a physical code in front of a camera.

Yes, you can point your camera at a code to scan it in real time. Your browser will ask for camera permission the first time.

Decoding the code just reveals the text or link it contains without opening anything, so this is actually a safer way to inspect a suspicious QR code before you decide whether to visit the link.

No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser, so neither the uploaded image nor the camera feed is uploaded to a server.

Common causes are a blurry or low-resolution image, a cropped code missing its corner squares, heavy glare, or too little contrast between the code and its background. A clearer, fuller image usually fixes it.
