Decoding stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

jsQR decodes QR matrices from a camera stream or an uploaded still. Decoded text lands in a result box for manual copy—we do not auto-open URLs. Camera needs HTTPS (or localhost) and permission; frames are processed in the tab only.

Camera vs file

  • Use camera — rear-facing preference on phones; stop the stream when finished.
  • Upload — screenshot or photo when the live view is awkward.

Security habit

Treat scanned URLs like links in email: read the domain before visiting. This tool does not validate destinations.

Processing

Pixels stay on your device. Nexora does not receive the image or payload.

QR scan questions

Do I need to upload the photo?

No. Decoding runs in your browser. The image is not sent to our server.

Can I use my phone camera?

Yes, if the browser allows camera access. You can also upload a still photo of the code.

What if the scan fails?

Use a sharper, well-lit photo with the code filling most of the frame. Damaged or very low-contrast codes may not decode.

Does this generate QR codes?

No. This page only reads them. Use the QR Code Generator to create a code.

Is the result opened automatically?

No. The decoded text is shown so you can copy it. If it is a URL, check it before you visit it.
