What is the QR Code Scanner Online?
The QR Code Scanner reads and decodes QR codes directly in your web browser. You can scan QR codes using your device's camera (webcam or smartphone) or by uploading an image containing a QR code.
How does it work?
The scanner uses a client-side JavaScript engine to read the QR code pattern directly in your browser. Because processing happens on your device, your images and scanned links are not uploaded to remote servers.

- Choose your method: Select whether to use your live camera or upload an image file.
- Live Camera: Point your camera at a QR code until it is detected.
- Upload Image: Drag and drop a photo or screenshot of a QR code into the upload area.
- View Results: The tool displays the decoded text or URL so you can copy it or visit the link safely.
