What QR Code Decoder does

QR Code Decoder is a browser-based tool that instantly reads QR codes from uploaded images, screenshots, or a live camera feed. It extracts the embedded data—URLs, text, contact details, Wi‑Fi credentials, events, and more—without ever sending the image to a server. The same site also includes a QR code generator that lets you customize colors, frames, and logos, all processed locally in your browser for privacy.
