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

  1. Allow camera access when prompted (mobile: use the rear camera).
  2. Tap Start camera and point at the QR code until a result appears.
  3. Or tap Upload image and choose a photo that contains the code.
  4. 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.
