What is this?

Sometimes you only have an image of a QR code — a screenshot of a slide, a photo of a poster, a scanned PDF. Our reader runs entirely in your browser using jsQR: drop the image, get the decoded payload back, copy the result or open the URL with one click. No upload, no server, no tracking — the image never leaves your machine.

When to use it

  • ▸Read a QR from a screenshot when you can't scan it with a phone
  • ▸Decode a QR in a PDF or printed scan
  • ▸Recover the URL from a saved promotional image
  • ▸Pre-test your own QR generation before printing

Tip

Sharper images decode more reliably. If a low-quality photo fails, take a fresh screenshot or rescan at higher resolution.
