What kind of information can be stored in a QR code?

QR codes can store a wide variety of information, including website URLs, plain text, contact information (vCards), Wi-Fi network credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, and much more. Our decoder will show you the raw text data contained within the code.

Why isn't my QR code scanning?

There could be several reasons. Ensure the QR code image is clear and not blurry. If using a camera, make sure there is good lighting and the code is well-focused. Complex or very dense QR codes may also be harder to read. Finally, ensure you have given your browser permission to access your camera.

How to Decode a QR Code

Use Your Camera: Click the "Start Camera" button to activate your webcam or phone camera. Position the QR code in front of the camera, and the tool will scan it in real-time.
