About the QR Code Scanner
Read any QR code without installing an app. Use your device camera for a live scan, or upload a photo or screenshot that contains a QR code.
The decoded text appears instantly, and if it is a link you can open it in a new tab. It is handy for reading QR codes on posters, packaging, tickets and screenshots.
All scanning happens in your browser using your device, so your camera feed and images are never sent to a server.
