QR Code Scanner

The interactive tool loads here. JavaScript is required to use its controls; the instructions below are available without it.

Read a QR code through your device camera in the browser. The scanner presents decoded content so you can inspect it before deciding what to do with it.

How to use this tool

  1. Select the camera scanning action and allow camera access when prompted.
  2. Hold the QR code steady in good light until the content is detected.
  3. Read the decoded text and stop the camera when finished.

How to interpret the result

Camera permission and compatible browser support are required. A damaged, blurry or very small code may not decode. A readable QR code is not a guarantee that its destination is trustworthy; inspect links before opening them.
