Common questions
Is my camera picture or image uploaded?
No. The code is read inside your browser. The camera feed and your images never leave your device, and the camera stops as soon as a code is found.
Is it safe to open a scanned link?
Check the website name we show in large letters first. QR codes can point anywhere, including look-alike sites, so only open links you expected.
Can I scan a QR code from a screenshot?
Yes. Upload the screenshot, drag it onto the page, or copy it and press Ctrl+V here.
Is the QR Code Scanner free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up and no app to install. It works on phones and computers with a camera.
