QR Code Scanner

Scan QR Code Online

QR codes have become a very popular medium for sharing information in today's world. We see QR codes in many places in our daily lives, such as cyber cafes, restaurants, product boxes, shops, etc.

A QR code can store various types of data, including plain text, website links, WiFi details, payment information, and more. However, when we see a QR code, we often want to know exactly what information it contains. The problem is that the human brain cannot decode QR codes directly, or rather, decoding them manually is almost impossible. But our Online QR Code Scanner is the best solution for this.

This is a web-based app, which means you don't need to download any separate application to scan a QR Code. It can easily scan QR codes without requiring any app installation. First, it scans the QR code and then identifies its type. After that, it reads the code and displays the decoded information on the screen, which you can then use as needed.

How to Scan a QR Code Online?

Scanning a QR code is very easy. Our online QR code scanner tool gives you multiple options, from which you can choose any method according to your convenience.

Scan a QR Code with a Camera:

This is the most popular method for scanning QR codes, as it doesn't require the QR code image to be stored locally on your device. You can directly scan QR codes printed on walls, stickers, cards, product boxes, or any other surface using your mobile camera or desktop webcam.

Follow these steps to scan a QR code with your camera:

• First, click on the Start Camera button to start your device's camera.
• If you are using the camera for the first time, the browser will ask for camera permission. You will need to allow the permission.
• Note: Without camera permission, the browser cannot access your camera, so this step is very important.
• Now, place the QR code inside the camera scanner frame so that the tool can easily read it.
• If the scanner detects the QR code, it will automatically show the decoded data.

Scan a QR Code by Uploading an Image:

After camera scanning, this method is also quite popular. It lets you scan a QR code image or photo stored locally on your device.

This option is very helpful for these users:

• Those whose camera doesn't work
• Those who don't want to use their camera
• Or those whose camera is blurry or damaged

Follow these steps to scan a QR code by uploading an image:

• First, click the Upload Image button to display the file selection window.
• Now, select the QR code image file you want to scan from your local storage, or use the drag-and-drop feature.
• After the image is uploaded, this tool will detect the QR code using an image processing algorithm.
• As soon as the QR code is read, the decoded text will be displayed on the screen.

Scan a QR Code by Pasting an Image:

This method is similar to image uploading, but its advantage is that the image does not need to be downloaded or saved locally.

Follow these steps to scan a QR code from the clipboard:

• First, copy the QR code image you want to scan from the internet or your local storage.
• Now, click on the Paste Image button, which will instantly paste the copied image.
• This feature works well with both online and offline images.

You can also use keyboard shortcuts:

• To Copy: ⌘ + C / Ctrl + C
• To Paste: ⌘ + V / Ctrl + V
