Read any QR code with your camera or from a saved image. Decoding happens in your browser — no video is uploaded or stored.
The camera is off. Nothing is recorded or uploaded.
You do not need an app. A browser with camera access can read a code directly, or decode one from a picture you already have.
Press Start camera to scan something in front of you, or switch to the image tab to read a code from a screenshot or photo already on your device.
Fill a good part of the frame with the code and hold steady. Detection happens automatically — there is no shutter button to press.
The decoded text appears in full so you can read it before acting on it. Copy it, or open it directly if it turns out to be a link you trust.
A camera and a browser is all it takes.
Read a code from a screenshot or email on the same device, where pointing a camera at it is impossible.
Open a menu code without installing whatever app the sticker suggests.
See exactly where a poster or sticker code leads before you decide to visit it.
Read a guest network code to see the network name and password as plain text.
Confirm a booking code contains the reference you expect.
Use a laptop webcam to read a code from a printed page without reaching for your phone.
Nearly every failed scan comes down to focus, framing or light.
How scanning works and what to do when a code will not read.
Upload the image file instead of using the camera and the code is read straight from the picture. This is the case a phone cannot handle — a QR code you were sent, saved or screenshotted rather than one in front of you.
