How it works
- Choose one or more images – or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.
- Click “Read QR code”.
- Copy the content; links are only shown, not opened.
Notes and limitations
- Decoding runs entirely on this page (own decoder including Reed-Solomon error correction); nothing is sent anywhere.
- Works best with sharp, straight images where the code is not too small. Slight rotation and noise are tolerated.
- Check links before opening them – QR codes can lead to fraudulent pages.
Frequently asked questions
Why is no code found?
The code may be too small, blurred, strongly distorted or cut off. Crop the image to the code or use a sharper photo.
