QR Code Scanner
Scan QR codes with your camera using a supported browser.
ℹ️ About QR Code Scanner
Scan QR codes locally in your browser using BarcodeDetector where available, with a jsQR fallback for unsupported browsers. Files are processed in your browser for the core operation; ToolBoxly does not require an image-processing upload server.
🛠️ How to Use
Open the tool, select or enter your content, choose the available options, then run the tool and download the result.
📌 Tips for QR Code Scanner
Scan a QR code from your device camera when your browser supports the required camera and barcode features. This QR scanner is useful for quickly checking URLs, contact details, text, or other QR payloads without installing a separate desktop application.
Camera access must be granted by your browser and device. For privacy, use the scanner only on QR codes you trust and avoid sharing sensitive information unnecessarily. Browser support can vary, so if camera scanning is unavailable, use a QR image with a compatible QR-reading method instead.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this upload my camera feed anywhere?
No. The camera feed is decoded locally in your browser using BarcodeDetector when available, with a jsQR fallback for browsers without it; no video or image is sent to a server.
What if my browser doesn't support camera scanning?
If your browser does not support BarcodeDetector, the scanner can use its built-in jsQR fallback. You still need camera permission and a secure HTTPS page for live camera access.
Can it read QR codes from a photo, not just live camera?
This tool is designed for live camera scanning. If you need to decode a saved QR image, use a QR reader that supports image-file input.
Practical ways to use QR Code Scanner
QR codes have become a standard bridge between print and digital — menus, business cards, event posters and product packaging all rely on a code that opens instantly on a phone camera. This uses the browser's camera-based QR decoder — BarcodeDetector where supported and a jsQR fallback elsewhere — and the camera feed is read locally and never leaves the device. Everything above runs locally in your browser tab — the file you choose is not uploaded to a ToolBoxly server before you download the result, so there is nothing to wait on beyond your own device's processing speed. If you plan to use the result somewhere else — a client deliverable, an app store listing, a printed page — keep a copy of your original file and double-check the output against that destination's specific requirements before you rely on it.
