QR Code Decoder

Encoding Client-side qrcode qr decode image scanner

This tool runs entirely client-side, in your browser: your data is never sent anywhere.

What it does

Reads a QR code embedded in an image file (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP...) and extracts the text/data it contains — all locally in your browser, no server involved.

How it works

The selected image is drawn onto an off-screen <canvas> element.
The raw pixel data is read via getImageData and passed to jsQR, a pure JavaScript QR decoding library, which scans the pixels and extracts the encoded string.
If a QR code can't be found, a clear error message is shown instead.

Everything runs locally in your browser — the image file is never uploaded anywhere. The jsQR library itself is loaded from a CDN, but no image data is ever sent over the network.
