QRSnip: QR Code & Barcode Scanner

Scan QR codes & barcodes from any screen snip or image. Multi-format, smart actions, local history. 100% offline.

Need to scan a QR code without reaching for your phone? Draw around any QR code on your screen and decode it instantly — no phone camera, no uploads, no accounts. QRSnip is a screen QR scanner that works like a snipping tool: select an area, get the result. It also reads barcodes from images and PDFs. Drop or paste a file, or right-click any image on a page. Everything runs offline in your browser. Nothing ever leaves your device. What makes QRSnip different? - Works as a QR snipping tool — draw a selection on any webpage, just like a screenshot tool - Scan QR codes from images you drop or paste, including codes inside PDFs opened in Chrome - Offline QR reader — no server, no cloud, no tracking. Decoding happens 100% locally - Smart actions — links open automatically, Wi-Fi passwords are ready to copy, contacts and locations just work - Reads 30+ barcode formats, including QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, and EAN/UPC - Detects multiple codes in a single selection - Local scan history you can revisit or clear anytime - Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Q (⌥Q on Mac) — scan without leaving the tab - Minimal permissions — the extension only accesses the page when you activate it How to use 1. Click the QRSnip icon or press Alt+Q (⌥Q on Mac) 2. Drag a selection around the code on your screen 3. Copy, open the link, or use the smart action — or tap Scan again Privacy Screenshots and decoded data never leave your device. Scan history stays in local storage only. Decoding uses local browser APIs and a bundled open-source WebAssembly engine — nothing is sent to a server. We collect nothing.
