How to use QR Code Scanner
Upload an image containing a QR code or allow camera access, point the camera at the code and copy the decoded result.
What the tool does
Read QR codes from uploaded images or a device camera directly in the browser.
Supported inputs
The code, JSON, expression or encoded text requested by the editor, using a fabricated or redacted sample rather than a live secret.
Actual output
A readable text or structured result that can be reviewed before using the available copy action.
Privacy and processing
Only encode information you are comfortable sharing with anyone who can scan the code.
Limitations
Camera access requires HTTPS and browser permission. Damaged, tiny or heavily blurred QR codes may not decode.
Common mistakes
Check that the selected input type, units and output format match the task. Do not discard the source before opening the result, and do not treat a preview, estimate or converted file as verified until you have reviewed it.
