QR Code Scanner

A tool to scan and decode QR codes and barcodes. Point your camera at a code, upload a photo, or paste a screenshot — the scanner reads the content, tells you what it is (a link, Wi-Fi, a contact, and more), and shows the safe action to take next. It reads several codes in one image and highlights suspicious links before you open them.

How to scan a QR code

1
Choose how to scan

Use your camera, or switch to “Image / paste” to upload a photo or paste a screenshot.

2
Add the code

Point the camera at the code, drop an image, or press Ctrl+V to paste a screenshot you copied.

3
Read the result

The scanner shows what the code contains and the action to take — open a link, copy a Wi-Fi password, save a contact, and so on.

Read a QR code from a screenshot, photo, or your camera

Not reading? A photo or screenshot usually works better.

What this QR scanner does

Scan from a screenshot or photo
Copy a screenshot and paste it with Ctrl+V, drop an image, or use your camera. Reading a picture works even when the on-screen code is too small for a live camera.
Reads difficult codes
Handles blurry, tilted, low-contrast, inverted and on-screen codes that simpler scanners miss — including a logo covering the middle of the code.
Several codes at once
When an image holds more than one code, every code is listed so you can pick the one you need.
Knows what the code contains
Detects links, Wi-Fi, contacts, calendar events, phone, email, location, products and more, and offers the matching action — save a contact, add an event, copy a Wi-Fi password.
Warns about risky links
Shows the real destination domain up front and flags shortened, look-alike (punycode), IP-address and other suspicious links before you open them.
Works with 15+ code types
QR, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, EAN, UPC, Code 128 and more — for products, tickets, documents and industrial labels.

QR scanner — questions & answers

Can it scan a QR code from a screenshot?

Yes. Copy the screenshot and paste it with Ctrl+V, or upload the image file. Reading a screenshot is often more reliable than pointing a camera at a screen, which causes glare and reflections.

The code has a logo in the middle — will it still read?

Yes. QR codes carry error-correction data, so a centre logo covering part of the code usually still decodes.

It didn’t read my code. What can I do?

Try uploading a photo or screenshot instead of the live camera, make sure the whole code is in the frame with a little white space around it, and avoid heavy blur or glare.

Can it read more than one code in a picture?

Yes. Every code found in the image is listed, and you can open each one separately.

Is a scanned link safe to open?

The scanner shows the real destination domain and flags common warning signs — shortened links, look-alike characters, raw IP addresses and suspicious domains. It cannot guarantee a site is safe, so still only open links you trust.

What code types can it read?

QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417, MaxiCode, EAN-13/8, UPC-A/E, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, ITF and GS1 DataBar.
