How to scan a QR code

  1. Choose or drag in a JPG, PNG, or WebP image that contains a QR code.
  2. The content is decoded instantly.
  3. Copy the result, or open it directly if it's a link.

Why use this private QR code scanner?

The image is decoded entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. This is useful for reading a QR code from a screenshot, a saved photo, or any image where using your phone's camera isn't convenient.

Frequently asked questions

Is this QR code scanner free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no limits.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is decoded entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.

What if no QR code is found?

A clear message tells you no QR code could be decoded from the image, instead of failing silently.

Can it open the link automatically?

If the decoded content looks like a web address, an "Open link" button appears so you can open it in a new tab — the link itself is never opened automatically.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. You can choose a saved photo or screenshot from your phone's gallery.
