The video is not recorded or sent anywhere: it is analysed frame by frame on your device and discarded.
How to use it
01
Bring the code
Drop the image, pick it, paste it from the clipboard or switch on the camera. A screenshot, a photo of a poster or the original file all work.
02
Read what it says first
The content appears in full, as text. No address opens by itself: you see it first, then you decide.
03
Take what you need
A Wi-Fi code shows the network and password separately; a contact shows its details; a link shows which site it really leads to.
04
Or reuse it
One button opens it in our generator with the content already filled in, in case you want it in another colour, size or with your logo.
A QR code is a label, not a promise
A QR code is nothing more than text written in little squares. Nobody signs it, nobody reviews it, and anyone can print one and stick it over another. It has happened on parking meters, restaurant menus and invoices: the usual square, in the usual place, leading to a copy of the real site that asks for card details.
That is why this page opens nothing on its own. It shows you the full address and which site it belongs to, and the decision to go there is yours, with the evidence in front of you. It is the same rule we apply when someone asks us to connect two systems: show what is about to happen first, then do it.
Frequently asked questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The image is read in your browser and the code is decoded right there. If you use the camera, the video does not leave the device either: nothing is recorded, nothing is sent, and it switches off the moment you press “stop” or close the tab.
Which images does it take?
Any photo or screenshot where the code is fully visible and reasonably in focus: PNG, JPG, WebP and SVG too. You do not need to crop it or straighten it perfectly; you do need all four corners and the white margin around it.
It will not read. What now?
It is almost always one of three things: part of the code is missing, there is too little contrast between the squares and the background, or the photo is blurred enough that the modules merge. Try more light, frame the whole code with a little margin, and avoid glare on laminated paper.
Is it safe to scan any QR code?
Scanning it here is: this page never opens what it finds, it only shows it to you. The real-world risk is elsewhere: a sticker slapped over the QR on a parking meter or a restaurant menu can take you to a page imitating the real one to steal your card details. That is why the first thing you see here is the full address, and which domain it belongs to.
What if the code sits in the middle of a huge poster?
The size of the poster does not matter: what matters is that the code takes up a reasonable part of the image and is not blurry. If the photo was taken from far away, crop around the code before bringing it here.
Can it read ordinary barcodes?
No, QR only. A product barcode is a different format and is read differently; if you need it, tell us and we will look into it.
How does it decode with no server?
With what the browser already provides when it can: Chrome, Edge and Android ship a barcode reader, so nothing gets downloaded there. On Firefox and Safari a small library, jsQR, loads — and only at the moment you bring your first image.
Do I need camera permission?
Yes: the browser will ask the first time and you can refuse without losing anything, because the rest of the tool works the same with an image. The button only appears if your device has a camera.
When there is a process behind the code
A QR on a label is usually the tip of something: an inventory someone keeps in a spreadsheet, a delivery note typed in twice, a warehouse that does not know what it holds. That is what we automate.
