Privacy First: Your files are processed securely. Whenever possible, processing happens in your browser and files are never stored on our servers.

Upload any image containing a QR code and instantly get the decoded content - no server needed, all processing runs in your browser. Three input modes: file upload (drag & drop or click to browse), live camera scanning using your device's webcam or rear camera, and image URL fetch. After decoding, the tool detects the content type automatically and shows structured, actionable output: clickable links for URLs, SSID and hidden password reveal for Wi-Fi, mailto links for email, tel: links for phone and SMS, downloadable .vcf for vCards, downloadable .ics for calendar events, and Google Maps links for geo coordinates. Also supports inverted (light-on-dark) QR codes and keeps a session history of your last 10 scans. Works with JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and SVG images. Paste directly from clipboard with Ctrl+V.
