Scan QR Code Online

Open this page and click "Scan with camera" - your browser uses your webcam or phone camera to read the QR code and show you the link inside it. It is a QR code scanner online, not a download: there is nothing to install, and the scanning happens on your device, so the camera feed is never uploaded.

Yes - this page is one. An online QR code scanner (or QR reader online, same thing) runs inside your web browser instead of as an app on your phone. Scan with your camera or upload an image, and it reads the code and shows you the link. It works on any phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop with a browser.

Scan it here instead of with your phone camera. Your camera app opens the link straight away; this scanner shows you the exact URL first, so you can check a QR code link for a lookalike domain or a shortener before you tap it. If it looks wrong, close the tab - nothing has been opened.

Yes. If the QR code is already on your screen - in an email, a PDF, a website, or a chat - take a screenshot and paste or upload it here. EZQR reads the code straight from the image, so you do not need a second phone to scan your own screen.

Yes. Scanning a QR code and reading the link inside it is free on EZQR - no account, no app, no limits. If you want to make your own QR code you can change after printing or track with scan analytics, that is where a plan comes in.

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. Use your webcam to scan a printed code, or upload and read a code from a screenshot or saved image - no phone required.

The image or camera frame is read entirely in your own browser - nothing is sent to a server. Scanning shows you the destination link before you open it, so you can check where a QR code goes instead of pointing your phone at an unknown code and tapping through blind.

You see the exact link or text the code contains and can copy it with one click. You can also download a fresh, high-resolution copy of the QR code as PNG, JPG, or SVG, or customize it with a logo, color, or shape.

Static QR codes made on ezqr.ca do not expire. When you create static QR codes on ezqr.ca, the data you enter is encoded into the static QR code. Static QR codes cannot be changed once they're created, so ezqr.ca has no ability to make them expire.

QR codes can be created for free online by visiting ezqr.ca

Yes. With a paid plan your EZQR dashboard catalogues every code you make - dynamic codes and the static codes you generate - in one organized library, so you're not hunting through a folder of loose downloads. Static codes stay free forever and keep working whether or not you have a plan; the dashboard simply gives you one place to keep them alongside your dynamic ones.

Yes. Style a QR code the way you like - colors, logo, corner and eye styles, even a decorative shape - then save it as a reusable theme. Apply that saved theme to any new code, static or dynamic, in a click, and share themes across your team so every code stays on-brand. Saved design themes come with every paid plan.

The "QR" in "QR code" stands for "Quick Response". That quick response can open whatever you like when you make a custom QR code.

QR codes were first invented in 1994 by the Japanese company Denso Wave to track vehicle parts during the manufacturing process. Today the same codes let you track every scan in real time.

QR codes are square barcodes that can be easily scanned and decoded by smartphone cameras or QR code reader apps. They are commonly used to provide quick access to information, such as website links, contact information, WiFi network details, or other digital content.

Generate the code for the page you want viewers on, download it as a transparent PNG or an SVG, then add it to your editing timeline as an image overlay. Size it to roughly 15 to 20 percent of the frame height, keep it out of the bottom strip where the player controls sit, put it over a still background, and hold it on screen for at least 5 to 8 seconds. Full details, including why the code should be editable, are in our QR codes for YouTube guide.

A QR code cannot hold a video file - it stores a short piece of text, not megabytes. What it can do is open a video instantly: upload the clip to YouTube, Vimeo, Drive, or your own site and make a video QR code for that link. Scanning loads the video ready to play, which is the usual way manuals, shelf labels, and equipment stickers point people at a demo.

Yes - phone cameras read codes off televisions, monitors, projectors, and lobby signage as reliably as off paper, and often better because the screen is lit. Two things spoil it: glare from a window on a glossy screen, and someone watching on the same phone they would scan with, since a phone cannot scan itself. For on-screen codes in a video or a slide deck, keep them large and leave them up for several seconds - see video QR codes.
