Point your camera at a QR code or drop in a screenshot. You see exactly what's inside, copy it if you like, and only then open the link — all inside your browser.
Your camera stays on this device.

Saved only in this browser. Clear it any time.
Start your camera, or drop in a screenshot or photo. Either way, the image is read right on your device.
The full text appears first, with the real website address highlighted and any warning signs flagged.
Copy the link or text, or open it. Safe links can open automatically after a short countdown you control.
QR codes hide their destination. Seeing the address first helps you spot look-alike sites and shortened links before they load.
Frames are analysed in your browser's memory and discarded. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or stored on a server.
Once this page is loaded, scanning doesn't need the network again. Opening a link of course does.
No. Scanning runs entirely in your browser. The camera feed and any image you add are never sent to a server. Recent scans are kept only in this browser's local storage, and you can clear them at any time.
Only if the automatic option is on, and only for secure (https) links with no warning signs. A 5-second countdown gives you time to copy the link or cancel. Links with warnings always wait for you to tap Open link.
Browsers only allow camera access on secure (https) pages and after you give permission. Allow the camera in your site settings, close other apps that may be using it, and tap Start camera again. If it still fails, use From an image.
Yes. Switch to From an image, then choose, drop or paste a picture. Make sure the whole code is visible, including its blank border.
Any standard QR code. Links, email, phone, SMS, locations, Wi-Fi details and contact cards are recognised and labelled. Everything else is shown as plain text you can copy.
Not always. Anyone can print a QR code and stick it over a real one. Check the highlighted website address, be careful with shortened or http links, and never enter passwords or payment details on a page you didn't expect.
Try better light, move closer or further away, hold steady, and avoid glare. For images, use a sharper or larger picture. Damaged or very small codes may not be readable.
Yes, in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox. On desktop, use a webcam or upload an image.
