Scan without installing an app
Got a QR code in a screenshot, a PDF or an email and can't point a second phone at it? Upload or paste the image and the code is decoded instantly. On a phone or laptop with a camera, you can also scan live.
The result is shown in full before anything happens: links show their real domain, Wi-Fi codes show the network name and password, and UPI codes show who you'd be paying and how much — so you can spot a swapped or suspicious code first.
How to scan a QR code online

Add the code

The decoded text, link, Wi-Fi details or payment info appears immediately.
- 3
Act on it
Copy the content, or open a link after checking the domain.
Key features
Image and camera scanning
Works with screenshots, photos and live video.

The image is checked at several sizes, including rotated and inverted codes.
Understands QR types
Links, Wi-Fi, UPI, contacts, email, SMS and phone codes.

Common uses
- Codes on your own screen: Read a QR code from a screenshot or a website without a second device.
- Wi-Fi passwords: See the password stored in a Wi-Fi QR code.
- Checking payments: Confirm the UPI ID and amount before paying.
Tips and good to know
- Scammers sometimes stick fake codes over real ones on posters and parking meters. Always check the domain or UPI ID before continuing.
- If a code isn't found, crop the image closer to the code with the Image Cropper and try again.
- Camera scanning needs your permission; the video is processed on your device and never recorded or sent anywhere.
