What is a QR Code Scanner?
A QR code scanner reads the black-and-white square pattern and turns it into text—often a website URL, Wi‑Fi login, or app deep link. This tool decodes codes in your browser without installing an app.
How to Scan QR Code Online
- Allow camera access when prompted (mobile: use the rear camera).
- Tap Start camera and point at the QR code until a result appears.
- Or tap Upload image and choose a photo that contains the code.
- Open links in a new tab only if you trust the source.
Use Cases
- Websites: jump to menus, tickets, or campaigns.
- Payments: read payment or wallet payloads (always verify the merchant).
- Apps: install links, sign-in helpers, and two-factor setup codes.
Example
Point the camera at a QR that encodes https://example.com—the tool shows that string and turns it into a tappable link.
