When to Use a QR Code Decoder

  • Screenshot or photo: You received a QR code as an image and can’t scan it with a phone.
  • Security check: Verify what a QR code links to before scanning it.
  • Extract data: Pull a Wi-Fi password, contact card, or URL from a QR code image.
  • Debugging: Confirm the exact content encoded in a QR code you generated.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The QR code is decoded entirely in your browser using the jsQR library. Your image never leaves your device.

What image formats are supported?

PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and most other common image formats. Screenshots work especially well.

Why would I decode a QR code instead of just scanning it?

When the QR code is in a screenshot, PDF, or image file, you can't use your phone camera. Decoding online also lets you see the URL before visiting it — useful for verifying QR codes before clicking.

What types of content can a QR code contain?

URLs, Wi-Fi credentials (SSID and password), vCard contact info, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS, and geo locations.
