QR to Text

Scan a QR code with your camera or upload an image to read its text or link. Decoded in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

What is a QR to Text scanner?

This tool reads a QR code and gives you back the text or link it contains - the reverse of a QR code generator. You can scan live with your device's camera or upload a saved QR image. All decoding happens locally in your browser using JavaScript, so your camera frames and images are never sent to or stored on our servers.

How to use it

  • 1. Choose Upload to read a saved image (up to 5 MB), or Camera to scan live.
  • 2. The decoded text appears instantly on the right.
  • 3. Copy it, open it if it's a link, or share it.
