QR Code Decoder

How to use

1. 1Drop a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, or SVG of the QR code into the dropzone, paste an image from the clipboard, or click Choose image to pick a file.
2. 2The tool decodes the image in your browser and shows each QR code it finds as a card with a payload badge (URL, WiFi, vCard, etc.).
3. 3Read the parsed fields and click Copy next to any value (WiFi password, vCard email, OTP secret, calendar location) to grab just that piece.
4. 4Use Copy raw text to grab the exact QR payload, or open Rescan after dropping a sharper crop if the decode came back empty.
5. 5Click Clear to drop a new image. If your browser does not support the BarcodeDetector API yet, open the page in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or Safari 16.4+.

About this tool

QR Code Decoder reads QR codes from any image you give it (drop, paste from the clipboard, or pick a file) and shows the payload in a readable form, all without uploading the image. The decoder uses the browser's native BarcodeDetector API, which lives in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi) and Safari 16.4 and later. After decoding the raw text, the tool detects the structured payload format and parses it field by field: a WiFi QR code becomes the SSID, security type, password, and hidden-network flag; a vCard or MECARD becomes a contact card with name, organization, phone numbers, emails, and address; an otpauth:// URI from Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator reveals the issuer, account, base32 secret, algorithm, digits, and period; mailto:, tel:, sms:, and smsto: links break out the recipient, subject, body, and message; geo: links surface the latitude, longitude, altitude, and a one-click open-in-maps link; calendar VEVENT entries show the title, start, end, and location; and plain URLs are presented as clickable links. Every parsed field has its own Copy button, plus a Raw QR text panel with the unmodified payload for cases where you want the exact bytes. The decoder also reports the QR position and size in pixels, the byte length of the payload, and handles images with multiple QR codes by listing each one as its own card. The image is rendered to a Canvas locally and fed to BarcodeDetector, so the screenshot, photo, or design file you drop stays entirely on your device.
