QR Code Reader
Read QR codes from device camera or uploaded image. 100% in your browser (jsQR).
How does it work?
Reading is handled by the jsQR library, loaded via CDN. All the decoding happens in the browser.
You can point the camera (it asks for permission and needs HTTPS) or upload an image. Either way, nothing is sent to servers.
It handles QR codes in general, whether URLs, Pix, Wi-Fi, vCard or plain text.

Read QR Codes by camera or image
The reader that comes built into the phone doesn't always cope, and on a computer it gets fiddlier still. So this tool reads QR Codes two ways: you point the device's camera at the code, or you upload an image that already has a QR in it.
Once the code is recognised, the contents land on screen, whether a link, some text, contact details or Wi-Fi data. It comes in handy when the QR sits in an image you saved, when you want to know what it holds before opening it, or when you're at the computer and your phone is out of reach.
None of this leaves your device. The reading runs entirely in the browser, with the jsQR library: neither the image nor the camera reaches any server. Practical and private.
