What is a QR Code Reader?
A QR code reader is a tool that scans and decodes Quick Response (QR) codes using your device's camera or uploaded image files. Our free QR Code Reader allows instant scanning and decoding of QR codes with real-time camera scanning featuring auto-detection, upload and scan from image files (PNG, JPG, WEBP up to 10MB), multiple camera support (front/back), automatic data type detection (URL, Email, Phone, SMS, WiFi, Text), copy data or open URLs directly, and works completely in your browser for privacy. Supported QR code types include URLs (web links open in new tab), plain text (any text content), contact information (email addresses and phone numbers), WiFi credentials (network names and passwords), and other data (SMS messages, calendar events). Perfect for product information scanning, digital payments, event check-in, two-factor authentication setup, and accessing information like WiFi passwords. All scanning happens locally in your browser for complete privacy and security.
