How to use the QR Code Scanner
- Tap “Scan with camera” and allow camera access — or choose an image containing a QR code.
- Hold the code inside the frame until it's read.
- Copy the result, or check and open the link.
What does this tool do?
Handy for reading a QR code in a screenshot or on your laptop, where a phone camera can't help. The scanner uses the BarcodeDetector built into Chrome, Edge and Android browsers; on iPhone the Camera app reads QR codes natively.
The camera feed is analysed on your device and is never recorded or uploaded. Always check a link before opening it — QR codes can point to any site.
Why use it?
- Camera or image upload.
- Nothing uploaded.
- Shows the link before opening.
