How to Scan QR Code from Image
Scanning a QR code from an image is simple:
- Upload an image or paste from clipboard (Ctrl+V)
- The scanner automatically detects and decodes the QR code
- View parsed results with actionable options
No app needed — everything happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
Supported QR Code Types
This scanner recognizes and parses multiple QR code formats:
- URL — Website links with "Open Link" action
- WiFi — Network credentials showing SSID and password
- Email — Email addresses with optional subject and body
- Phone — Phone numbers ready to dial
- Text — Plain text content
- vCard — Contact cards with name, phone, email
Each type is parsed and displayed in a structured format, making the data easy to understand and use.
Why QR Codes May Not Scan
If your QR code isn't being detected, check these common issues:
- Blurry image — The QR code needs to be in focus
- Low contrast — Dark codes on light backgrounds work best
- Too small — QR codes need sufficient resolution
- Partial visibility — The entire code must be visible
- Damage — Scratched or torn codes may not scan
Try cropping the image to focus on just the QR code area, or take a new photo with better lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of QR codes can be scanned?
This scanner can read all standard QR code types including
URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, WiFi credentials, contact
cards (vCard), calendar events, and more. It automatically detects and parses
the content type.
Can I paste an image from clipboard?
Yes! Simply copy an image (screenshot or from another app)
and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on this page. The scanner will
automatically process the pasted image.
Is my image data uploaded to a server?
No, all QR code scanning happens locally in your browser
using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. This ensures
your privacy and allows the tool to work offline once loaded.
Why isn't my QR code scanning?
Ensure the QR code is clearly visible, well-lit, and not
blurry. The image should have good contrast. Try cropping the image to focus on
just the QR code area. Damaged or very small QR codes may not scan correctly.
