Free Online QR Code Scanner
Scan QR codes free in your browser with your camera or an image. Decoding is 100% on-device, and a link inspector shows where a code really goes before you tap.
Scan a QR code with your camera or by uploading an image — right in your browser, with nothing uploaded. QR Puppy decodes on your device and, for links, inspects the destination first: it flags shorteners, look-alike domains, insecure http and tracking parameters before you ever tap.

Frequently asked questions
Is the QR scanner free and private?
Yes. It's free, and decoding happens entirely on your device — images and camera frames are never uploaded.
Can I scan a QR code from an image or screenshot?
Yes — upload or drag in any photo or screenshot containing a QR code.
Does it show where a link goes before opening it?
Yes. The link inspector reveals the real destination and flags shorteners, punycode look-alikes, raw IPs, http and tracking params.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser, though you can install QR Puppy as an app for offline scanning.
