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.

How to make it

  1. Open the scanner and allow camera access, or upload/drag in a photo of a code.
  2. QR Puppy decodes it instantly, on your device.
  3. For links, read the inspector's safety notes and copy a clean, tracking-free version.
  4. Open the link only if it looks right — you're always in control.

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.
