What Is a QR Code Scanner?

A QR Code Scanner reads the visual pattern stored inside a QR code and converts it back into its encoded content. Depending on the QR code, the result may contain a website address, plain text, contact information, WiFi details, email information or other data.

This online scanner provides two scanning options: use a device camera for live detection or choose an existing QR image saved on your device.

Camera QR Scanning

When camera mode is started, the browser requests camera permission. Hold the QR code inside the scanning area until a readable code is detected.

Image QR Scanning

If you already have a screenshot, photo or downloaded QR code, choose the image option and select the file instead of turning on the camera.
