HOW TO READ A QR CODE FROM A PHOTO
Three ways to decode, one private result
Screenshots, saved photos, and forwarded images all work. No camera permission required.
- 1
Upload, drop, or paste
Choose one or more images, drag them onto the page, or paste a screenshot directly from the clipboard.
- 2
Decode in the browser
The QR code is located and decoded locally with JavaScript. The image never leaves your device.
- 3
Open or copy the result
URLs become clickable links; text, WiFi credentials, and contact cards can be copied in one click.
Works with every QR code you already have
The decoder reads the raw payload, so links, WiFi credentials, contact cards, and plain text all come through.
- URL
- WiFi
- Text
- Phone
- SMS
- Location
- Contact
Get a clean decode every time
Crop to the QR code with a little white border. The quiet zone matters.
Avoid glare, shadows, and extreme angles. A flat screenshot decodes most reliably.
If the code is small, use the original image rather than a resized chat attachment.
One code per image. For a sheet of codes, crop each one or scan them individually.
