Private by design

Most online QR readers send your photo to a server to decode it. Digital Heroes decodes everything right here using a vendored copy of the open-source jsQR engine and your browser's camera API, so the QR contents, your camera feed, and any image you pick stay entirely on your device.

About QR Code Scanner

QR Code Scanner is a free, private tool that runs entirely in your web browser. Point your camera at a QR code or upload a photo and the result appears instantly. Because decoding happens locally on your device, nothing is ever uploaded to a server. There is no sign-up, no installation required, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. Like every free online tool by Digital Heroes, QR Code Scanner is 100% free with no limits.

Decode from an image file: drop or browse a PNG, JPG, or WebP photo that contains a QR code.

Copy the decoded text with one click, or open a link directly in a new tab.

Identify the QR type automatically: URL, email, phone, Wi-Fi, contact card, location, or plain text.

Switch between front and rear cameras on mobile or multi-camera devices.

Stay fully private: camera feed and images never leave your browser.
