Two ways to scan

Live camera or a screenshot file — decoding happens right in your browser.

Scan via webcam & mobile

Scan printed or on-screen QR codes in real time with your webcam or phone camera — no app install.

  • Grant permission: Allow camera access when your browser asks.
  • Align the code: Point your camera at the QR until it sits in the frame.
  • Instant decode: WebQR reads the code in your browser and shows the result at once.

Scan from image & screenshots

Got a screenshot or a photo of a QR? Upload it and WebQR decodes the content in your browser.

  • Capture: Take a screenshot or photo of the QR code.
  • Upload: Drop the file or choose it on the Upload image tab.
  • Decode: Recognition runs locally — results appear in the panel right away.

Online scanner

An online scanner where your data stays with you. Always.

Most online QR scanners upload your images to a remote server. WebQR doesn’t. Decoding happens right in your browser — photos and QR content are not sent to our servers.

  • No server uploads

    During online scanning, images stay on your phone or computer.

  • No scan tracking

    The online scanner does not keep your scan history or collect personal data for decoding.

  • Free web scanner

    Scan QR codes online with no limits. No account needed — only if you want to save codes to your dashboard.

Online, but local

The WebQR web scanner reads QR codes in your browser. Nothing is uploaded for recognition.

Supported formats

  • QR Code
  • PNG
  • JPG
  • WebP
  • GIF
  • BMP

What you can scan

WebQR reads the main QR formats and shows results in a clear layout — fields and actions, not raw text.

Restaurant menus

Touchless QR menus at restaurants, cafes, and bars — open a PDF or webpage right after scanning, no app install.

Wi‑Fi login

Connect without typing a long password. The scanner shows network name (SSID), security type, and password as separate fields.

Business cards

Digitize networking — scan a vCard on a business card and save name, phone, and email to your device contacts.

Events and tickets

Tickets and event registration — add the event to your calendar or check in through the browser.

Links and URLs

Opens any webpage: site, form, payment page, or landing after you scan.

Photos and images

Decode a QR from a screenshot or photo — PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Ideal for codes on screen or from your gallery.

Text QR codes

Promo codes, instructions, or any plain text inside the QR — content appears as readable text in the result panel.

Geolocation

GPS coordinates open in Google Maps or another navigator — office address, parking spot, or map pin.

SMS, calls, and mail

SMS with prefilled text, one-tap phone dial, or an email draft — contact scenarios are decoded and shown as separate fields.

Frequently asked questions about the scanner

Camera, image upload, saving to your dashboard, and security — without repeating the scanner block above.

How do I scan a QR code online?
Open the WebQR online scanner, upload a QR image (drag and drop or choose a file) or switch to the Camera tab and point your webcam at the code. Results appear instantly — URL, text, vCard, Wi‑Fi, and more in a clear layout, with one-click Copy. Scanning needs no account. With an account, save the QR to your dashboard and manage it alongside all your other codes.
How do I scan a QR code on iPhone?
For a code in front of you: open the built-in Camera app (iOS 11+), point at the QR code, and tap the banner at the top.

For a screenshot or saved photo, open the WebQR scanner in Safari, use the Upload image tab, and pick the image from Photos — no extra app needed.
How do I scan a QR code on Android?
Most phones (Android 8+) read QR codes with the default camera or Google Lens.

For a screenshot or saved image, open WebQR in Chrome and upload the file — decoding runs in the browser with no install.
Can I scan a QR code without an app?
Yes. The WebQR scanner runs in your browser — no install. Scanning works without an account; to save codes to your dashboard, sort the list, and use folders, sign up free. Works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
Can I scan a QR code from a picture or screenshot?
Yes — it is one of the main use cases. Upload PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, or BMP: a screenshot, photo, or web image. Results show in the panel (vCard, Wi‑Fi, etc. as labeled fields, not a text blob). Copy in one click or save the QR to your dashboard — it joins your full list with sorting and folders.
How do I scan a QR code on a laptop?
Open the WebQR scanner in your laptop browser.

Upload image — drag and drop a QR image or choose a file on the Upload image tab.

Webcam — open the Camera tab, allow access, and scan a physical code in real time.
How do I scan a Wi‑Fi QR code on a laptop?
Upload the Wi‑Fi QR image to the WebQR scanner. You will see the network name (SSID), security type, and password as separate fields — handy for connecting your laptop without copying from a phone.
Why is my QR code not scanning?
Common reasons:

• blurry or low-resolution image — use a sharper photo or a larger screenshot;
• incomplete code — the full QR and quiet zone must be visible;
• heavy styling or damage — too much of the pattern may be unreadable;
• glare when filming a screen — upload a screenshot instead.

WebQR retries decoding at several scales — try another image or the camera tab.
Is WebQR safe? Are my images uploaded?
Yes, for private scanning: decoding runs in your browser with JavaScript — images and QR content are not sent to our servers for recognition. Nothing leaves your device until you choose Save, which stores the code content you confirm in your account.
What does WebQR offer after scanning?
WebQR is not just a one-off scanner — it is part of a full QR platform:

• Save to dashboard — “Save this QR code” after a scan; it appears in QR codes with everything else.
• Sorting — by name, date created, and date updated.
• Folders — group saved and created codes.
• Search and filters — find the right QR quickly.
• Copy scan results on the scanner page.
• Readable results — vCard, Wi‑Fi, and more shown as fields, not raw text.
• Edit content — dynamic QR codes can be updated without reprinting.
• Design — colors, logo, module shapes in the builder.
• Analytics — for dynamic QR: scans, devices, regions.
• Download — PNG, SVG, PDF, and more.
