⚙️ How It Works

Upload image with QR code
Drop a screenshot, photo, or any image containing a QR code. Works with photos of QR codes, screenshots of websites, or downloaded QR images.

Automatic scanning
The jsQR library scans the image pixel-by-pixel to detect and decode the QR code pattern. Both standard and inverted QR codes are attempted.

The decoded content displays with its type (URL, email, WiFi, contact). Click 'Open URL' for web links or 'Copy Content' for any type.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I read a QR code from a screenshot?
▼
Upload your screenshot using the dropzone — the tool scans it automatically and displays the QR code content within seconds. No need to use your phone camera.
What types of QR codes can this tool read?
▼
This tool reads standard QR codes containing: URLs and web links, plain text, email addresses (mailto:), phone numbers (tel:), WiFi credentials (SSID and password), contact cards (vCard), and custom data. It handles both standard dark-on-white and inverted white-on-dark QR codes.
Why can't the tool read my QR code?
▼
Common reasons: image resolution too low (try a higher-quality screenshot), QR code is damaged or partially obscured, image is blurry or at an extreme angle, or the QR code is very small in the frame. Try cropping the image closer to just the QR code and uploading again.
Can I decode a QR code without a phone?
▼
Yes — this is the main use case. Upload any image containing a QR code to decode it. Useful for: checking what a QR code links to before scanning it with your phone, decoding QR codes in documents, or accessing QR code content on a desktop computer.
Is it safe to scan unknown QR codes?
▼
Always check the decoded URL before clicking 'Open URL'. Malicious QR codes can link to phishing sites or trigger unwanted actions. This tool shows you the raw decoded content so you can review it before visiting any links.
