Three ways to scan — image URL, file upload, or live camera. No app, no signup, fully private.
Paste a direct link to any image that contains a QR code.
Simple & Fast
No account, no app, no fuss. Decode any QR code from your browser in under ten seconds.
Select from three instant options: paste an image URL, upload a photo from your device, or use your device camera for a live real-time scan.
Enter a direct image link, drag & drop or click to upload a PNG / JPG / WebP, or allow camera access and point directly at the QR code.
The jsQR decoder extracts the encoded data in milliseconds — URL, text, WiFi, contact, or anything else — and displays it on screen for you to copy or open.

Got Questions?
Everything you need to know about scanning QR codes online with QR Code Rabbit.
Yes. QR Code Rabbit's online scanner is 100% free with no usage limits, no account required, and nothing to install. Scan as many QR codes as you need, directly in your browser.
No. All scanning happens entirely on your device using the open-source jsQR library. Your images, camera feed, and decoded content are never sent to any server — your data stays fully private.
Some servers block cross-origin (CORS) image requests from other websites. If an image URL fails, download the image to your device and use the Upload Image tab instead — this always works regardless of server settings.
Our scanner decodes all standard QR code content: website URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, WiFi network credentials (SSID + password), vCard contact cards, calendar events, and geo-location coordinates.
Yes. Save the screenshot or export the PDF page as an image, then upload it using the Upload Image tab. The scanner will detect and decode any QR code present in the image.
Try these steps: (1) Ensure the QR code is fully in frame and not cropped. (2) Improve the image brightness or contrast. (3) Crop the image to show only the QR code. (4) For camera mode, move closer and hold steady. Low-contrast or blurry codes are the most common cause of failed detection.
Yes. The camera scanner uses your device's built-in browser APIs and works on all modern smartphones running iOS Safari, Android Chrome, or any other current mobile browser. Camera permission must be granted when prompted.
Absolutely. QR Code Rabbit is a full QR code platform. After scanning a code, use our free generators to create customised QR codes for URLs, text, email, phone, social media, WiFi, and more — with logo, colors, and frame options.
