Read QR codes without a phone. Upload an image or simply press Ctrl+V to paste a screenshot, and the tool decodes the QR code — links, text, Wi-Fi settings and more — with one-click copy. Several images can be scanned at once, and in supporting browsers multiple QR codes and barcodes per image are detected. Seeing the content before opening a link is also a good defence against phishing. Everything is decoded in your browser; images are never uploaded.

## How to use

1. Upload an image containing a QR code, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V
2. Wait for automatic decoding
3. Copy the result, or open the link once you have checked it

## Features

- Upload or paste screenshots
- Batch scanning
- Multiple QR codes and barcodes (browser-dependent)
- See before you open, decoded locally

## FAQ

### Why is my code not recognised?

Codes that are tiny, blurry, obscured or heavily distorted may fail. Try cropping to just the code or using a sharper image.

### Is the decoded link safe?

The tool only reads the content; it cannot tell whether a site is trustworthy. Check the domain before opening, and never enter passwords on unfamiliar sites.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account and has no usage limits.
