About Read a QR code

Reads a QR code from a photo or screenshot and shows what is inside, whether a web address, plain text, contact card or Wi-Fi details. Check the destination before opening any link, since scam codes often hide short or look-alike URLs. Blurry or cropped images can fail to decode.

How to use Read a QR code

  1. Choose a photo or screenshot of the QR code.
  2. The code is read in a second.
  3. Open the link or copy the text it contains.
