Use the reader below to upload a QR image file and decode the embedded text or link.
Select an image with a QR code. We decode it locally in your browser.
QR Code Reader is a free, browser-based online utility that lets you scan QR codes from uploaded screenshots, photos, and saved images.
Many people do not need a live camera scanner. They already have the QR code as a screenshot, a saved phone image, a PDF export, or an email attachment. In that situation, an upload-based QR reader is faster and more private than turning on camera access.
This page focuses on that exact workflow by reusing the same QR decoding tool as the main QR code reader.
If the image is blurry, crop closer to the QR code and try again. Cleaner edges usually improve recognition.
Most failures come from blur, heavy compression, or a QR code that occupies too little of the full image. Try a sharper screenshot, a tighter crop, or a higher-resolution source image. If you want to create a fresh code yourself, use the QR code generator.
Yes. Upload the screenshot file and the reader will try to decode the QR locally in your browser.
No. The current reader processes the image in the browser for privacy-focused file-based scanning.
Take a clear screenshot or export the QR area as an image, then upload that image here for decoding.
