Does it open the link automatically?

No. The content is shown as text first. You choose whether to open a link, and it opens in a new tab only when you click.

Can it use my camera to scan live?

Yes. Press "Scan with camera" and allow the camera in your browser. The video is processed on your device only: nothing is recorded or sent. You can also take a photo or use a screenshot.

Is it safe to open a link from an unknown QR code?

The tool lists warning signs, such as link shorteners or look-alike characters, but it cannot tell you a link is safe. Only open links from sources you trust.

About this tool

QR Code Reader decodes a QR code from your camera, a photo or a screenshot and shows what is inside: a link, Wi-Fi details, an email, a phone number or text. It also lists warning signs for risky links and never opens anything by itself. It runs in your browser, so your camera image and your photos are never uploaded.

Good to know: Reads one QR code at a time. The camera needs your permission and stays on your device: nothing is recorded or sent. The checks show warning signs but cannot tell you that a link is safe.

Your files are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded to any server. Verify it yourself
