Point at a QR code, or
This scanner works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Point your camera at a code, or upload, drag in or paste a screenshot to read the link, text or Wi-Fi details it holds. There's nothing to install.
Tap "Scan with camera" and allow camera access, or tap "Upload an image or screenshot".
Hold the code inside the bracket, or choose the screenshot. On a computer you can also drag the image in or paste it.
The result appears in your scan history, where you can open the link or copy the text.
You don't need a phone. Get the code onto your screen as an image, then let this page read it.
The scanner needs the whole code in the image, including the blank border around it. If it can't find one, crop a little wider and try again. Still stuck? See why a QR code won't scan.
Yes. The scanner processes everything in your browser, and we never send your camera feed or image files to our servers. Before installing any scanner app instead, check the permissions it asks for: reading a QR code only needs the camera. And whatever you scan with, check the link before you open it, especially if it asks you to log in or pay.
Yes. Tap "Upload an image or screenshot" and choose it from your photos or files. On a computer you can also drag the image onto the scanner or paste it with Ctrl+V (Command+V on a Mac). It works for QR codes on PDF tickets, emails and screenshots a friend sent you.
Screenshot the code (Windows + Shift + S on Windows, Command + Shift + 4 on a Mac), then paste it on this page. For a printed code, use "Scan with camera" and hold it up to your webcam.
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser, such as Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android. Most recent phones can also scan straight from the built-in camera app; this page is handy when that doesn't work or the code is already in your photos.
The scanner is a Progressive Web App. Tap "Install App" in the scan history panel, or use your browser's "Add to Home Screen", to save it to your phone. Once saved, it opens and scans without a signal.
Create dynamic QR codes that you can update even after printing. Keep your links active and track scan counts, device types, and locations in real time.
Standard barcodes and static QR codes are permanent—once printed, the data cannot be changed. This creates massive waste if a link breaks or a destination changes.
With QRTRAC Dynamic QR Codes, you can edit the destination URL or content at any time, even AFTER they've been printed and distributed.
Update menus, manuals, or marketing links instantly without reprinting.
Track every scan: location, device type, and time of day in real-time.
