QR Code Scanner & Decoder

How to use

Drop a screenshot, photo, or saved QR image into the box at the top, or click to choose a file. The QR is decoded in your browser and the result shows up right away with smart action buttons based on type. If you'd rather scan with a webcam, click "Open camera scanner" below the upload zone.

Why qixapp QR scanner

Most online QR scanners either upload your image to a server (privacy concern), auto-redirect you to potentially malicious URLs, or both. This one runs entirely in your browser, so your image and decoded content never leave your device. We also flag suspicious-looking URLs before you click them, which native phone camera scanners typically don't do.

When you'd use this over your phone camera

If you have a QR you can point your phone at, your phone camera is faster. This tool exists for the cases where that won't work: a QR sent in an email, a screenshot saved to your laptop, a QR you want to inspect for phishing before you click anything, or scanning from a Windows or Linux desktop where there's no built-in QR support.

What it can decode

• Website URLs, with smart "open" and "copy" actions
• Wi-Fi network credentials, with one-tap password copy
• Phone numbers, ready to call
• Email addresses, ready to compose
• SMS messages with pre-filled text
• Contact cards (vCard / MeCard format)
• Calendar events
• Any plain text content

FAQ

Why does it ask for camera permission? Only if you click "Open camera scanner". The browser needs your permission to access the camera. Once granted, video stays on your device. The image upload option needs no permissions.

What's the warning chip about? When a QR contains a URL, we check it for common signs of phishing (IP addresses instead of domains, URL shorteners, suspicious domains, etc.). It's a heads-up, not a block. Use your judgment.

Does it work offline? Yes. Once the page is loaded, scanning works without an internet connection.
