About the QR Code Scanner
Sometimes a QR code is inside a screenshot or an image on your computer, and you cannot point your phone camera at it. This scanner reads QR codes directly from images, or live through your webcam or phone camera.
The content is shown as text you can copy, and links can be opened with one tap. Scanning happens on your device — nothing is uploaded.
How to use the QR Code Scanner

Why use PandaToolDesk?
Private by design. The QR Code Scanner runs completely inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, so nobody else can see them — not even us.
Free with no limits. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Use it as often as you like on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android or iPhone.
Fast results. Because there is nothing to upload, even large files are processed quickly — the speed depends only on your own device.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to open QR links?
Always read the link before opening it. This scanner shows you the full link first.
Why can't it find the QR code?
Use a clear, well-lit image where the QR code is not too small or blurry.
Is the camera video recorded?
No. The video is processed live on your device and never saved or uploaded.
