How to Scan a QR Code from an Image

1. Click "Upload Barcode or QR Code Image" above and choose a PNG, JPG, or JPEG from your device — any QR code image works: screenshots, downloads, or photos.
2. Automatic detection — the QR code is identified and decoded instantly in your browser. No upload to any server occurs.
3. View the result — the decoded content (URL, WiFi password, contact info, message, etc.) appears immediately below the file selector.
4. Copy or share the result via WhatsApp, Telegram, Email, or the Copy button.

The tool works with QR codes from any source: a friend sent you a WiFi QR code over WhatsApp, you received a QR code by email, you saved a payment QR code as a screenshot, or you downloaded a vCard QR code to save a contact. Upload the image and the content is revealed instantly — no second device, no camera needed.

What QR Code Types Can Be Decoded from an Image?

Our tool decodes all standard QR code data types:

• URL — opens a website or web app link
• WiFi — shows the network name (SSID), password, and security type
• vCard / Contact — extracts name, phone number, email, company, and address
• Email — shows the recipient address, subject line, and message body
• SMS — shows the phone number and pre-filled message
• WhatsApp — shows the phone number and message link
• UPI / Payment — shows the payee VPA, name, and amount
• Google Maps / Geo — shows the location coordinates or Maps link
• Plain text — displays the raw text encoded in the QR code

Common Situations Where You Need to Scan a QR Code from an Image

• A friend shared a WiFi QR code over WhatsApp — you need to scan it without a second phone
• You received a QR code ticket or pass by email and need to check the details
• You took a screenshot of a payment QR code and want to verify the recipient details
• You downloaded a vCard QR code to save someone's contact information
• You need to decode a QR code that appears in a PDF, presentation, or scanned document
• You're a developer testing QR code output and need to verify the encoded data

Why Use Our QR Image Scanner?

Our QR code image scanner decodes QR codes directly from uploaded images — no camera required, no app to install, no sign-up. Upload a PNG or JPG and the decoded content appears instantly.

All scanning happens locally in your browser. Images are never sent to any server, so your QR code data stays completely private — whether it contains a password, personal contact details, or a payment link. This free tool works on all modern browsers, on both mobile and desktop.

Tips for Best Scanning Results

• Use the original file — avoid re-screenshots which reduce quality
• Use PNG over JPEG where possible — JPEG compression can blur QR code edges
• Crop tight around the QR code if it's very small relative to the full image
• Ensure the full QR code is visible — all three corner squares must be present
• Increase screen brightness if displaying a QR code on screen for camera scanning
