QR Code Scanner

Read a QR code from a picture or straight from your camera. Everything is decoded on your own device, which matters more here than for most tools — QR codes on tickets, boarding passes and payment slips carry information you should not be handing to a stranger's server just to find out what it says.

Decoding runs entirely on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and the camera stream never leaves your browser.

No. Decoding happens in your browser using JavaScript, and the camera stream never leaves your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it will still work.
