What Is a QR Code?

A QR code (Quick Response code) is a 2D barcode used for instant data sharing. With our free web-based QR reader, you can scan codes securely without installing anything.

  • Works on Android, iPhone, and desktop browsers
  • No installation, no signup — 100% free
  • Privacy-safe: all scans stay on your device

Tips for Better Scanning

  • Ensure your camera is in focus
  • Use torch in low-light conditions
  • Switch between front and rear cameras for best angle

Note: This tool supports camera switching and torch control on modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari).

QR Code Reader vs. QR Code Generator

While a QR code reader helps you scan and decode existing codes, a QR code generator lets you create your own QR codes for free for links, text, contact cards, Wi-Fi passwords, and more.
