What is qr code decoder?
Read the text or URL hidden in any QR code image. Drop in a screenshot, a photo, or a saved QR, and get the decoded payload.
The tool detects the payload type and offers the right follow-up: open a URL, compose an email, or copy the Wi-Fi credentials. The whole process runs locally — the image never leaves the page.

A screenshot from a chat, an email, or a website often contains a QR code. Drop the screenshot in and get the URL or text in one click.
