The qr code decoder works like this: it reads QR codes from uploaded images or camera captures and shows the decoded payload. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with damaged codes?
QR error correction recovers up to 30% damage depending on the level used at creation - partially covered codes often still decode.
What image formats can be decoded?
PNG, JPG and WebP screenshots or photos - as long as the QR pattern is reasonably flat and well-lit, camera shots decode fine.
What happens with a damaged or partial code?
QR codes carry error correction, so a scuffed corner often still decodes; if the damage exceeds the correction capacity the tool reports that it could not read a code rather than guessing.
