QR Code Reader
Decode a QR code from an image or live camera, then inspect the payload before opening any link or using contact/Wi-Fi data.
QR, Barcode & SEODirect answer
A QR code reader extracts the payload from a QR Code Model 2 image. AppKiro supports PNG, JPG/JPEG and WebP uploads plus live camera scanning and can identify common URL, Wi-Fi and contact payloads; decoded content must be treated as untrusted input.
Upload a saved image or scan with your device camera. Files stay in your browser.

OR
Allow camera access to scan QR codes in real time.
Tip: For best results, make sure the QR code is clear and well-lit.
Upload an image or start the camera to decode a QR code.
History is empty. Successful scans appear here automatically.
How to use it
Enter the source data: Upload a supported image or explicitly allow camera access. Keep the code centered, well lit and large enough in the frame.
Choose the relevant settings: Wait for a successful decode, then review the raw text and detected payload type before copying or following any action.
Review and verify the result: For URLs, inspect the full domain and scheme. For Wi-Fi or contacts, verify every field. Clear local scan history on shared devices.
Key capabilities
- Reads QR Code Model 2 from PNG, JPG/JPEG and WebP files.
- Provides live camera scanning with permission.
- Shows raw decoded text and detected payload type.
- Recognizes common URL, Wi-Fi, vCard/MECARD-style content when available.
- Maintains local scan history with a required clear control.
Best use cases
- Decode a QR image received in a document.
- Inspect a QR destination before opening it.
- Test QR codes generated for Wi-Fi, contact or campaign workflows.
Limits and safety notes
- A successful decode means only that data was recovered. It does not make a URL, credential request or contact safe. Phishing QR codes can hide misleading destinations, and local history may expose sensitive payloads on a shared device.
- Use sample or non-production data. The current page describes local processing, but sensitive secrets still require an independent code and network audit before this can be treated as a security guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not start
use HTTPS, check browser permission and close another app that may be using the camera.
Micro QR image fails
the current reader targets full QR Code Model 2; use a compatible reader for Micro QR.
Frequently asked questions
Which image formats can I upload?
The reader accepts PNG, JPEG and WebP images up to 12 MB and 24 megapixels. Corrupt files, unsupported encodings and images without a detectable QR Code Model 2 return an error.
Does the reader support Micro QR?
No. The current implementation documents support for full QR Code Model 2 and not Micro QR.
Is it safe to open a decoded QR link?
Treat it like any untrusted link. Check the full domain, spelling, scheme and context before opening, and never enter credentials merely because a QR code supplied the URL.
Is it safe and private?
Short answer: Use sample or non-production data. The current page describes local processing, but sensitive secrets still require an independent code and network audit before this can be treated as a security guarantee.
Does it work on mobile?
The layout adapts to narrow screens. File selection, camera access, clipboard actions and downloads still depend on the permissions and capabilities of the mobile browser.
