Scan a QR code or barcode.

Decode from an image file, a pasted screenshot, or your camera — without installing an app.

Scan

Decode an image, screenshot or camera view locally.

Nothing uploaded

Choose or drop an imagePNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF · up to 12 MB

You can also paste a screenshot while this tab is open.

Decoded content appears here.

Generated locally. The content you encode is never uploaded.

Scanning and decoding in the browser

AnyScan reads a code that already exists and shows you what it contains. The image is decoded on your device, so a screenshot of a private document or a Wi-Fi code never leaves your machine.

From an image

Choose or drag in a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF up to 12 MB.

From a screenshot

Copy a screenshot and paste it straight onto the page while the tab is open.

From your camera

Use a connected camera to read a code in front of you. The video stream stays on your device and stops when you leave the page.

Then reuse it

Copy the decoded text, open a decoded link, or send the value back to the generator to recreate the code.

Specifications

Accepted images: PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF, up to 12 MB per image.
What it reads: QR codes and the linear barcode formats AnyScan generates.
Wi-Fi codes: A scanned Wi-Fi code is summarised as network name and security type, and the password is deliberately masked rather than displayed.
What it does not do: AnyScan returns the value stored in the code. It does not look up a product name from a retail barcode.
Where it runs: In your browser. Images and camera frames are decoded on your device and are never uploaded.

Every AnyScan tool runs in your browser: create a single code, generate in bulk, scan an existing code or print a label sheet.
