Yes. Save the screenshot, select Choose Image and pick it from your device. You do not need to display the code on another screen. Keep the code's surrounding border when cropping the screenshot.
QR Code Scanner from Image

Read a code already on your phone or computer
A QR code in a message, download or screenshot does not need a second device. Save the picture, choose it here and let the reader extract the stored content. There is no separate Scan button.
For a printed code, use Camera Photo to take a still photo where your browser supports capture. On a computer or unsupported device, that button may open a file picker instead.
Choose Image
Click the image area to select a saved picture or screenshot. This field does not support drag-and-drop, clipboard paste or an image URL.
Camera Photo
Choose Take Photo to open the camera or file picker, depending on your device and browser. The reader analyzes the selected photo, not a live camera feed.
Image format
Use an image your browser can display, such as PNG, JPG or WebP. A file appearing in the picker does not guarantee it can be decoded; export unsupported formats to PNG or JPG first.
Choose Image opens a file picker. It does not accept pasted images, drag-and-drop or a remote image address. For a code shown on this same screen, choose a saved screenshot instead of trying to point the camera at it.
How to scan a QR code from an image
1
Choose a screenshot or photo
Select Choose Image and pick a picture your browser can display. For a printed QR code, select Camera Photo and Take Photo. Keep all four corners and the clear border around the pattern in view.
2
Let the reader find the code
The selected image is decoded automatically. A large screenshot can make the code too small after scaling; if detection fails, crop closer without cutting off the border and choose the new image.
3
Check the text before using it
Read the complete result and use Copy when needed. An HTTP/HTTPS address also gets an Open Link button. Check the destination before opening it; Scan Another clears the result and image so you can choose the next file.
A decoded QR result is the content stored in the code
A website address, WiFi string and contact card may look different, but each is returned as text. The reader does not validate a website or perform the action on your behalf.
HTTP or HTTPS URL
Copy the address or choose Open Link to visit it in another tab. The reader does not open it automatically.
WiFi or contact data
View or copy the encoded text. This page does not automatically join a network or import a contact.
Text, phone, SMS or email data
View or copy the content. The reader does not place calls or send messages, and non-web schemes do not get an Open Link button.
Image decoding is performed locally by this reader. Choosing Open Link visits the destination website and is a separate action.
Fix the image when a QR code will not scan
Improve the visible pattern before trying again. Increasing a picture's dimensions cannot recover squares that blur, glare or cropping has already removed.
A small code inside a full-screen capture
Detection first uses an image no larger than 1,500 px on its longest side, then tries smaller versions. Crop unnecessary surroundings with Image Cropper, keeping the whole code and its clear border. Save a PNG or JPG and choose it here.
A code on paper, packaging or another display
Take a straight-on, focused photo with enough light and little reflection. Avoid covering the corners or the surrounding clear area. The Camera Photo option analyzes the photo you return, rather than continuously scanning live video.
An image that cannot be opened
Use PNG, JPG or WebP that your browser can display. A filename appearing in the picker does not prove the image can load. For a saved HEIC photo, HEIC to JPG provides a separate server conversion before you return here.
This page reads an existing code. To make a QR image from your own link or information, use QR Code Generator.
Questions about reading QR images
It can decode a readable WiFi QR pattern and show the stored text, including the network details. This page does not automatically connect to WiFi or import a contact; you can inspect and copy the result.
Choose an image of the relevant page, not the PDF file itself. Take a clear screenshot or export the page using PDF to PNG, then select that image here.
The reader returns the first QR code it successfully detects. It has no all-code list or batch scan. Crop separate codes into separate pictures. For printed words rather than a QR pattern, use Image to Text; this is not a general barcode reader.
This reader decodes the selected image in your browser. Opening a decoded web address visits that website as a separate action. Any other converter you use to prepare an image has its own file-processing workflow.
