Scan a QR code or barcode online

Point your camera at a QR code or barcode, or choose a photo or screenshot of one, and the decoded text appears on screen. Links are not opened automatically, so you can check where a code leads first. That is useful for codes on posters, parcels and payment stands, and for codes sent in chats. Decoding runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.

What it reads

Code type Examples
QR codes Links, Wi-Fi, UPI, contact cards, text
Retail barcodes EAN-13, UPC-A
Other barcodes Code 128, Code 39, ITF

Scan safely

  • Read the link before you open it. Watch for look-alike domains.
  • A UPI QR shows the payee ID. Check it matches who you mean to pay.
  • You never need to scan a QR code or enter your PIN to receive money.

Tips if it won’t scan

  • Use good light and hold the camera parallel to the code.
  • In a photo, crop to just the code and try again.
  • Blurry, glossy or damaged codes may not read.

Make your own code with the QR code generator or the barcode generator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a QR code from an image or screenshot?

Choose the image instead of using the camera. The code is read from the picture, which is handy on a laptop or for a QR code someone sent you.

Which codes can it read?

QR codes and common barcodes such as EAN-13, UPC-A, Code 128 and Code 39.

Does it open links automatically?

No. It shows the text first so you can check where a link goes before you open it.

Can I check a UPI payment QR?

Yes. It shows the UPI ID and amount inside the code. Remember that you never need to scan a QR code to receive money. Scanning is only for paying.

Is the camera video sent anywhere?

No. Decoding runs in your browser, and the camera stops when you leave the page.
