QR Code Reader
Read a QR code from an image or your camera and see the link, Wi-Fi password or contact it holds before you open it.
Images and camera frames are read on your device and never uploaded.
QR Code Reader decodes QR codes from a photo, a screenshot or your camera. It shows what the code holds before anything happens: the full web address, a Wi-Fi network and password, an email, a phone number or a contact card you can save. Links never open on their own, so you can check them first, a useful habit because QR codes are often used to send people to fake sites. Images and camera frames are read on your device.

Questions
How do I scan a QR code that is on my own screen?
Take a screenshot and add it here; you don't need a second device.
Why should I check links first?
QR codes on posters, parking meters and emails are sometimes swapped for ones that lead to fake sites. Make sure the address is the one you expect before you open it or enter any details.
The camera doesn't start. What can I do?
Allow camera access for this site in your browser's settings, or take a photo of the code and add the image instead.
Are my images or camera sent anywhere?
No. Everything is read on your device.
