How to scan a QR code from an image or screenshot

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): You do not need a camera to read a QR code that is already on your screen or in a photo. Drop the image into the box, choose it from your files, or take a screenshot and paste it with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac). The code is decoded in your browser in a moment, and the content appears: a link you can check and open, Wi-Fi details, text, an email address or a phone number, ready to copy. The image is never uploaded.

Step by step

  1. Take a screenshot or save the image with the QR code.
  2. Drop it in the box, choose the file, or paste with Ctrl+V.
