What it does
The picture is searched for a QR code and its contents are shown as text. Links are not opened, so you can check them first.
When to use it
QR codes in screenshots, emails and PDFs, checking a code is safe before visiting it, and computers without a camera.
Private by design
Most online tools upload your file to their servers. This one doesn't: it loads into your browser and does the work on your own phone or computer, so your files never leave it.
