# QR code reader

Read a QR code from an uploaded image locally, without sending the image anywhere.

QR code image

Decoded content

Open link

Read a QR code from an image without uploading it. The browser detects the code locally and returns its exact text.

## Choose or drop an image

PNG, JPEG and other browser-readable image formats work; a close, sharp image gives the best result.

## Local detection

Supported browsers use their built-in Barcode Detector. The image never leaves your device.

## Frequently asked questions

Why does my browser say it is unsupported?

Barcode Detector is not available in every browser. Current Chromium-based browsers have the broadest support.

Can this open a detected link?

It shows a clickable link when the result begins with http or https, but never opens it automatically.
