Check what's inside a QR code before opening it
Not sure about a QR code on a flyer or poster? Take a photo and decode it here — you can inspect the URL before visiting it. It's also handy for QR codes shown on your own screen (screenshots) that a phone camera can't easily scan. Decoding uses the widely-used open-source jsQR library and runs entirely in your browser.
FAQ
Can it read directly from my camera?
This tool reads from image files only. For live scanning, use your phone's built-in camera app.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Decoding happens entirely inside your browser, and the decoded content is never sent anywhere.
