QUICK GUIDE
How to scan a QR code from an image safely
Use this tool for screenshots, saved photos, or QR images received in messages. The image is decoded inside your browser and is not uploaded. QRFoundry displays the complete result and domain before offering an open link, so shortened URLs, plain HTTP links, and unusual protocols can be reviewed instead of launching automatically.
Local processing
Nothing you enter or upload is sent to a server, saved, or shared.
Nothing you enter or upload is sent to a server, saved, or shared.
Use it in three steps
- Choose a PNG, JPG, or WEBP image containing one visible QR code.
- Review the full decoded content, domain, and any safety warning.
- Copy the result or explicitly open a reviewed HTTPS link.
Practical example
ExampleA sharp screenshot with the complete QR code and its white margin visible.
Format limitsBlur, glare, heavy cropping, low contrast, or several codes in one image can prevent decoding.
Common errorsTry the original image, crop around one code without cutting its margin, or increase brightness and contrast.
Frequently asked questions
Will the image be uploaded?
No. Decoding runs locally in your browser.
Why is a short link flagged?
Short links hide the final domain, so they deserve extra review.
Does the tool open links automatically?
Never. You must review and choose to open a supported link.
