A QR code scanner reads a QR code and tells you exactly where it goes. Use your webcam or phone camera to scan a printed code, or upload a screenshot to read a code that's already on your screen. Either way EZQR decodes the code in your browser and shows you the link — so you can check it before you tap through.

How to Scan a QR Code Online

  1. Start the scanner. Click Scan with camera to use your webcam or phone camera, or Upload image / paste a screenshot to read a code that's already on screen.
  2. EZQR reads the code. It finds and decodes the QR code and shows you the exact link or text it contains — copy it with one click.
  3. Open, copy, or save. Follow the link, copy it, or download a fresh QR code as PNG, JPG, or SVG — or add a logo, color, or shape.

Scan a QR Code Any Way You Need

Scan with your camera

Use your webcam or phone camera to read a printed QR code on a poster, sign, menu, or business card.

Scan a QR code on your screen

Got a code in an email, PDF, or website? Screenshot it and read it here — no second phone needed.

Read the link before you open it

See exactly where a QR code points first. Check it's safe instead of scanning an unknown code blind.

No app, no sign-up

The scanner runs in your browser on any device. Nothing to download, no account, no limits.

Works on desktop and mobile

Laptop, desktop, tablet, or phone — scan with the camera or upload an image, whatever you have.

Private by design

The camera frame or image is read on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Scanner or Extractor — Which Do You Need?

They share the same engine, so either reads your code. Reach for the scanner when you want to point a camera at a code or quickly read one and check where it goes. Reach for the QR code extractor when you have an image file of a code and want to pull the link out of it and regenerate a clean, print-ready copy.

Want a Code You Can Edit and Track?

Scanning reads codes other people made. When you make your own, a static QR code locks the link into the pattern forever. If you'd rather be able to change where it points after printing — or see how many people scan it, and where — dynamic QR codes let you swap the destination any time and track every scan without reprinting.
