Scan a QR code online on your phone
This image QR code scanner runs in your phone's browser, so there is nothing to install. Take a screenshot of the code, or use a sharp photo of it. Then tap Upload QR code and pick the image from your gallery.
On a computer, this QR image scanner works in any modern browser. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V, or drag an image onto the box. You can scan QR online for free, with no app to install.
When a QR code won't scan
- Blurry image. Use the original file or a sharp screenshot, not a photo of a screen.
- Cropped code. Keep the whole code and its white border (the quiet zone) in the image.
- Glare or angle. Avoid reflections, and shoot straight on.
- Too small. A code that fills only a small part of a large photo can be too small to read. Crop closer, but keep the border.
- Heavy styling. Codes with large logos or artwork can lose too much data to read. A plain version scans more reliably.
iPhone photos (HEIC)
Most desktop browsers can't open HEIC, the default photo format on iPhone. If an HEIC photo fails, take a screenshot of the code instead. To save future photos as JPG, open Settings > Camera > Formats and choose Most Compatible.
