About the QR Code Scanner
This tool decodes any standard QR code straight in your browser using your device's camera or an image file you already have. No app download, no account, and no data ever leaves your device - the decoding happens locally on your phone or computer.

- Hold the QR code steady inside the green frame. It decodes automatically the moment it's recognized.
- Don't have the code in front of you? Switch to Upload Image and pick a photo or screenshot instead.
- Once scanned, tap Copy to copy the result, or Open Link if it's a URL.
