Why Scan QR Codes Without an App?

QR code scanner apps require installation and often request unnecessary permissions. Browser-based QR scanners are faster for one-off scans and work on any device — perfect for desktop computers that can't easily install apps.

Two Ways to Scan Online

• Upload an image: Screenshot or photo of the QR code, upload to the scanner
• Use your camera: Browser accesses your camera in real time to scan
