About QR Code Reader — Decode QR Codes from Images Online

4.8out of 5 · 156 ratings

This free online QR code reader decodes QR codes from uploaded images instantly in your browser using the jsQR library, which processes the image pixel data via an offscreen canvas — no image is ever transmitted over the network. Upload a PNG, JPG, WEBP, or GIF file containing a QR code and the decoded text — whether a URL, contact card, Wi-Fi password, or plain string — appears immediately. Screenshots work well as long as the QR code is clearly visible; for best results use a high-resolution image with the QR code well-lit and occupying a reasonable portion of the frame. If detection fails, the code may be too small, blurry, heavily rotated, or damaged.
