Sometimes the QR code is already on your screen — in a screenshot, a PDF or a saved photo. You can decode it without pointing a camera at anything.
How it works
Upload the image and the scanner reads the pattern locally in your browser, then shows the decoded link or text. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so it is private.
When this is handy
Reading a code from an email attachment, checking where a suspicious code leads before tapping it, or grabbing a link from a webinar slide you screenshotted.
Stay safe
Always preview the decoded link before opening it. A scanner that shows you the destination first helps you avoid phishing.
