About QR Code Scanner
QR code scanner for Chrome - fast recognition on the page and through the camera
Scan QR codes directly on your computer screen—no screenshots, file downloads, or phone required. Select the code on an open web page or point your laptop camera at it, and the extension will show the result.
How to scan a QR code on a page
1. Click on the extension icon.
2. Select Select QR Code from Tab.
3. Select the area of the page where the QR code is located.
4. Receive decoded content.
If the page was opened before installing or updating the extension and requires a reload, a corresponding notification will appear directly in the popup. On Chrome service pages, scanning is limited to the browser itself.
Scanning through the camera
Click "Scan with Camera", allow Chrome access to the camera and point it at the QR code. The scan will open in a separate window that does not close when asking for permission.
If you have multiple cameras connected to your computer, you can select the device you need—for example, a laptop's built-in camera, an external USB camera, or a virtual camera.
What can you get from a QR code?
🔹 Links - open in a new tab with one click.
🔹 Plain text - copy to clipboard.
🔹 Contact information, Wi-Fi settings and other text content - view and copy.
Why is this convenient?
✅ Two scanning modes - web page area and camera.
✅ Supports multiple cameras with selectable options.
✅ Recognition occurs locally in the browser.
✅ No internet connection required to decode QR code.
✅ Content is not sent to an external recognition server.
✅ Links open and text is copied with one click.
✅ Clear messages if the page needs to be reloaded or access to the camera is denied.
QR codes in videos, broadcasts and presentations
The extension is suitable not only for static images. If the code appears in a video, broadcast, presentation or online course, pause the playback and highlight the area with the QR code.
This is convenient for:
🔹 videos on YouTube and other video services;
🔹 online courses, webinars and presentations;
🔹 publications and advertising materials on social networks;
🔹 electronic documents and PDF files opened in the browser;
🔹 links to events, products, forms and contact details.
Work without an external recognition server
Decoding is performed directly on the device. The Internet may only be needed to open the found link and download the recommended interface content - QR code recognition itself is available offline.
Click on the extension icon, choose a convenient scanning method and get the contents of the QR code in a few seconds.
