Read and decode any QR code — right in your browser. Point your camera at one, or drop, choose, or paste an image, and Reticle reveals what's inside. No sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Everything happens locally in your browser — the image and its contents are never sent anywhere.

Drop in any image with a QR code — a screenshot, a photo of a poster, a file — or paste it straight from the clipboard, and the code is decoded on the spot. On phones and laptops with a camera you can also scan live, just like a camera app. Decoding uses your browser's built-in barcode detection where available, with a bundled fallback everywhere else, so it works without installing anything.
It reads more than links: Wi-Fi network details, contact cards (vCard), calendar events, email, SMS, phone numbers, map locations, and crypto payment addresses are all recognized and displayed as what they are, not just raw text.
Everything happens locally in your browser. Images and camera frames are never uploaded — the decoded contents never leave your device. The camera runs only while you're scanning: it shuts off the moment a code is found or the tab is hidden, and there's no account or sign-in.
Found a code you want to reuse? Edit in generator carries the decoded contents into the QR code generator with the right fields pre-filled, so you can restyle it with your own colors, shapes, and logo, then download a fresh copy.
Yes — that's exactly what this page is for. Upload, drag in, or paste any image containing a QR code (a screenshot, photo, or saved file) and it's decoded right here in your browser. Nothing to install.
The usual culprits are blur, low contrast between the code and its background, a missing quiet zone (empty margin) around the code, damage to the corner squares, or an image where the code is simply too small. Try a sharper, closer, straight-on picture.
It decodes Wi-Fi codes and shows the network name, security type, and password. Actually joining the network with one tap is a feature of your phone's camera app — use it if you want to connect rather than read the credentials.
No. Decoding happens entirely in your browser using the device's own barcode detection. Images, camera frames, and decoded contents never leave your device, and there's no account or sign-in.
The browser requires your explicit permission before any page can use the camera. The live scanner stops the camera as soon as a code is found, when you switch away from the tab, or when you drop in an image instead.
