QR Code Decoder

Read a QR code from a screenshot, photo or optional camera scan. Inspect text, links or Wi-Fi fields and copy the raw result without opening links automatically.

Inspect what a QR code contains before deciding what to do with it. Upload an image without granting camera access, or explicitly start a camera scan. Recognized Wi-Fi, website, email and phone payloads get labelled fields, while copy and download retain the original encoded text.

About QR Code Decoder

File-based decoding

Reads QR codes from browser-decodable images such as JPG, PNG and WebP.

Opt-in camera scanning

Camera access starts on your action and the scanner stops its tracks after a successful read or Stop camera.

Readable payload fields

Recognizes common Wi-Fi, web, email and phone content without automatically opening a decoded destination.

How to use QR Code Decoder

1
Choose an image or camera
Upload a clear screenshot or photo up to 20 MB, or choose Start camera and grant permission in a supported secure browser context.
2
Decode the QR
For an uploaded image, press Decode QR code. Keep the complete pattern and its surrounding border visible.
3
Inspect the payload
Review the labelled fields and Raw encoded data. Copy or download the text only after checking whether it includes a password or other private information.

Formats and practical limits

Input: one browser-supported image up to 20 MB, or a user-authorized camera stream. Output: QR payload text and detected format, with copy and TXT download.

Uploaded images are scaled to at most 4,096 pixels on their longest side for scanning; very dense codes can become unreadable.
Camera support and permission depend on the browser and secure context. This page reads QR codes; use Barcode Reader for supported linear barcode formats.

Practical example

Upload a screenshot of a Wi-Fi QR code, inspect its network name, then use Show password only if needed. A downloaded decoded-code.txt contains the original payload rather than just the visible field labels.

Frequently Asked Questions

3 answers

Can I read a QR code from a screenshot?

Yes, if the image contains a clear, complete code. Include the surrounding border; blur, glare or a heavily reduced image can prevent decoding.

Does the decoder connect to the Wi-Fi network?

No. It displays the encoded network fields. The password is initially masked in the structured view, but raw copy/download can still contain it.

Does a readable link mean it is safe?

No. Decoding reveals text; it does not verify a website, sender or destination. The tool does not open links automatically.
