Frequently asked questions

How do I read a QR code from an image or screenshot?

Upload, drag or paste the image into this tool. It reads the QR code directly from the picture and shows the decoded text, so you don’t need to point a phone camera at the screen. It works with screenshots, saved photos and downloaded images.

Is this QR code decoder free and private?

Yes. It is completely free with no sign-up. Decoding happens entirely in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server and nothing is stored.

Can it decode a PromptPay QR code?

Yes. If the QR code is a Thai PromptPay or EMVCo payment code, the tool parses its tag-length-value structure and shows the merchant account, amount, currency and proxy (mobile number or national ID) in a clear table.

Does it work on desktop computers and every browser?

Yes. It reads QR codes right in your browser on any modern desktop or mobile browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — with no app or plugin to install. Your image is decoded locally on your device and is never uploaded.

The image won’t decode — what can I do?

Use a sharp, well-lit image where the whole QR code is visible and not cropped. Avoid heavy blur, glare or very low contrast. Cropping tightly around the QR code and increasing its size often helps.
