Barcode Ready

QR Code Scanner

Point your camera at a QR code to read it. Everything happens in your browser: no app to install, no sign-up, and the camera feed never leaves your device.

Scanned codes show up here. Nothing is uploaded; reading happens on your device.

How it works

  1. 1Press Start camera and allow access when your browser asks.
  2. 2Hold the QR code inside the view until the result appears below.
  3. 3Copy the text, or open the link if it is a web address.

Scanning tips

Hold the phone steady about 10 to 20 cm from a printed code, and make sure the whole code, including its white border, is in view. Glare on glossy paper or screens is the most common cause of failures; tilting slightly usually fixes it.

Why scan in the browser

Your phone's camera app already reads most QR codes. A browser-based scanner is useful on a laptop webcam, when you need to copy the raw text, or to read a code from a screenshot or a saved image.
