QR code decoder
Read what a QR code contains without scanning it on your phone. Upload a clear PNG or JPEG and decoding runs on your device, so the image never leaves it. Useful for checking print proofs and unknown codes.
Three quick steps — then download or copy. Each tool page includes tips and FAQs.
Use a clear PNG or JPEG of the code. Cropped photos work if the squares are sharp.
We read the pixels locally, so the image is never uploaded to our servers.
Copy the decoded text or URL to check links before you share or reprint them.
No. Decoding runs entirely in your browser.
Try a tighter crop, higher contrast, less blur, or a flatter photo of the code.
Yes. It is free to use in your browser, with no sign-up.
Yes. Whatever text or URL the QR code contains is shown so you can copy it.
Decoding happens locally once the page has loaded, so your image is never sent to our servers. You still need a connection to load the page itself.
