QR Code Reader — FAQs
Is this QR code reader free?
Yes, completely free with no signup and no limits. Decode as many QR codes as you like from screenshots, photos or saved images, right in your browser — no app install, account or payment needed at any point.
What image formats can I upload?
PNG, JPG, JPEG and WebP all work, including phone screenshots and camera photos. For the best results, the QR code should be sharp, well-lit and fully visible in the frame — large blurry codes may not decode.
Why does it say no QR code was found?
The most common causes are a blurry or tiny code, heavy glare, a cropped code, or an image that simply contains no QR code. Try cropping close to the code, brightening the image, or taking a sharper photo and uploading it again.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Your image is decoded locally on your device using a JavaScript library; it is never uploaded, stored or shared. You can safely decode QR codes from private documents or payment slips without any privacy worry.
