How to Scan a QR Code Without Installing an App
You do not need to download an ad-filled scanner app from an app store. Your iPhone or Android camera already has scanning built in, and you can scan from webcams or uploaded screenshots directly in your browser.
Scanning With Your Built-In Phone Camera
Simply open your default Camera app on iOS or Android and point it steadily at the QR code. A banner notification pops up with the decoded link.
Scanning in Your Browser or From Screenshots
Use our free online QR code scanner to decode codes via your webcam or by uploading a photo or screenshot directly from your camera roll or desktop.
