Decode a QR Code from an Image

A QR code in an email, a PDF, a chat or a web page cannot be scanned with the phone you are reading it on. This page opens the QR Code Reader ready for an image or a pasted screenshot.

Wi-Fi codes

A Wi-Fi QR code holds the network name and password in plain text. Reading it here shows both, which helps when you need to type the password on a laptop or a TV.
