About this QR code reader

QR codes can contain links, plain text, contact information, and other data. This tool reads a QR code from a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF image and displays its contents. Images must be smaller than 10 MB. Clear, well-lit, fully visible QR codes are more likely to decode successfully.

The tool only displays the decoded value; it does not open links. Check the contents before visiting any URL or sharing decoded information.

Privacy

Image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your image and decoded text are not uploaded or saved by ToolsLodge.

Frequently asked questions

Is my QR image uploaded or saved?

No. The image is decoded entirely in your browser. ToolsLodge does not upload or save it.

Which image formats are supported?

You can select PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF images up to 10 MB.

Can this tool decode QR codes from a photograph?

Yes, if the code is clear, in focus, and fully visible. Cropping, glare, blur, or very low resolution may prevent a successful scan.
