Scan a QR Code From an Image
Upload a screenshot or photo and read the QR code in it. Useful when a code is on your own screen, in a PDF, or in a picture someone sent you.
How it works
- 1Press Upload an image and choose a picture with a QR code in it.
- 2Wait a moment while it is read in your browser.
- 3Copy the text, or open the link if it's a web address.
When you need this
The usual cases: a code in a PDF or email, a coupon on your laptop, a code sent as a photo in a chat, or one you captured earlier. There's no need to hold a phone up to another screen.
Getting a good read
Use the original file if you have it rather than a heavily compressed copy. Rotated codes are fine; stretched or heavily blurred ones are not. If the first try fails, cropping tightly around the code often works.
