Read QR codes from a camera, screenshot, or image file.
Camera preview appears here after permission is granted.
Use the QR scanner when you need to check what a code actually contains before opening it or sending it to print. It is useful for public codes, screenshots, downloaded artwork, and proof checks where the visible design does not tell the whole story.
Yes. Upload a clear screenshot or image file. If the screenshot is tiny, cropped or compressed, try the original image or a larger capture.
No. Read the decoded URL first, especially for codes on public posters, stickers or packages. A scanner can show the destination, but it cannot prove the destination is safe.
The scanner decodes everything in the browser and does not upload your image. Still, avoid scanning images that contain private information unless you are comfortable viewing them on this device.
Work through it in order: print first, file second, destination last. Check for glare, blur, damage, tight cropping and a code that is too small for the scan distance. Then make sure the image was not stretched or compressed, and finally confirm the decoded link or payload is valid.
The scanner uses a multi-format reader, but dedicated barcode workflows should use the Barcode Scanner page because barcode labels have different format and validation concerns.
Create a static QR code for the everyday jobs people actually print and share.
Paste a link and turn it into a scannable QR code for real-world materials.
Let guests scan once to join a WiFi network without typing the password.
Plan how large a QR code should be before it goes on a sign, label, or poster.
