QR Code Scanner Online

Scan a QR code online in the UK with your camera, webcam, image, or screenshot. The scanner shows the decoded value before any link is opened.

If the QR code is already on the same phone, laptop, or desktop, use the image tab. It works well for screenshots from emails, PDFs, messages, and web pages.

Scan with camera or webcam

The camera starts only after you choose it, and stops when you pause, reset, leave the page, or hide the tab.

• Use the rear camera on mobile where available.
• On a laptop, hold the printed code steady and well lit.
• Keep the full QR code and its quiet zone inside the frame.

Read a QR code from an image

Choose, paste, or drag an image. The file is processed in the browser and is not uploaded.

• Useful for codes in emails, PDFs, messages, and another browser tab.
• Avoid cropping off the corners or white border.
• Try a sharper screenshot if no code is found.

Preview suspicious links first

The decoded value is shown first. Links do not open automatically, and unsafe protocols are kept inert.

• Check the domain before opening sign-in, delivery, or payment links.
• Wi‑Fi passwords stay hidden until you reveal them.
• History is off by default and only saved locally if you opt in.
