Supported formats
More than a QR reader
Smart detection, history, native sharing and URL verification — all in one.
Live camera
Turn on the camera and aim: the code is detected automatically in real time. No clicking, no waiting.
Image upload
Drag or pick any PNG, JPG or WebP that contains a code. Perfect for screenshots.
Smart detection
Automatically recognises whether the result is a URL, email, phone number, WiFi credentials or a vCard and offers contextual actions.
Session history
Your last 10 scans are kept during the session. Tap any entry to retrieve the result without scanning again.
One-tap copy
Copy the scanned text with a single click. If it's a URL, you can also open it directly with a second button.
Native sharing
Share the result straight from the browser via WhatsApp, Telegram, email or any app installed on your device.
WiFi decoder
WiFi QR codes show network name (SSID), security type and password with masked/reveal protection — never stored.
URL checker
After scanning a QR with a URL, the scanner automatically checks whether the link is live or expired so you browse safely.

No installation. Create your free account (Starter plan, no card) and you're set.

Pick camera or image
Switch on live camera to scan on the spot, or upload a photo/screenshot with the code you want to read.

Inventory & management
Upload an image with multiple codes or scan one by one from your computer. Results live in the session history.
Menus & posters
Read QR codes from restaurant menus, ads or digital business cards without installing anything.
Personal safety
Check whether a suspicious QR's link is alive before opening it. The built-in verifier warns you if the URL has expired.
Privacy by design
Your camera and the codes you scan never leave your device.
Local processing
All decoding happens in your browser via ZXing WebAssembly. No video frame is sent to any server.
No cloud history
Scan history lives only in browser memory and vanishes when you close the tab. Zero persistence.
Safe WiFi
Detected WiFi passwords are shown locally with masking by default. They're never stored or transmitted.
Optional verification
URL availability checks use an anonymous request. You can ignore the result if you prefer not to make any request.
